1/2 c. sour cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/3 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. crab meat, chopped (or shrimp, or salmon or smoked salmon or even tuna)
1/2 c. finely chopped celery
1/2 c. finely chopped white onion like Texas sweet or Walla Walla or Vidalia
Lettuce leaves
4 large cucumbers peeled and sliced in half lengthwise seed part removed
one large tomato thinly sliced
Recipe
Mix cheese, sour cream,mustard, garlic powder, pepper, crab, celery and onion. Let sit in refrigerator to allow flavors to meld. Place peeled, cut cucumber on a bed of lettuce. Fill the cavity of the cucumber heaping with the crab mixture. Cut the tomato in thin slices and arrange two or three on top by cutting to center of slice and twisting it to rest on top upright. Dust with paprika if desired. Serve with crackers or toasted bread points. And soup if for dinner.
I didn't have any but diced sweet red pepper would be pretty in this too. We ate the cucumber with the filling and it was such a refreshing treat. If anyone tries it let me know how you liked it.
