Cucumber Cups

from ButterYum

makes 20

• 2 English cucumbers

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese

• 2 scallions, sliced thin

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• fresh dill fronds for garnish

Directions

1. Wash cucumbers and peel them intermittently to make a light and dark green striped pattern down the length of each cucumber.

2. Slice cucumbers into 1-inch rounds and use a melon baller to carefully hollow out an indentation to hold the filling.

3. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, sliced scallions, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper; mixing well (start with less salt, then taste and add more if needed).

4. Fill each cucumber cup with the cottage cheese filling.

5. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with fresh dill fronds.
