Shout out to Mindi Torrey for sharing this brilliant idea for these beautiful appetizer bites - they are hollowed out cucumber slices filled with different toppings; she identified each one with a different colored toothpick so you knew which one you were eating (which is another great idea). I love this idea for a party - or for my lunch - finger food that doesn't need utensils or plates to clean up is the best.
Mindi works with my sis, who was nice enough to take pictures for me (and eat one of each in the interest of "research" - thanks Sissy!) and ask Mindi how she made these - she didn't get an exact "recipe" because you can put whatever fillings you want in the cukes so just eye-ball your amounts and ingredients. The combination options are endless!
The fillings for her party "sushi":
1: tomato, avocado, black olives, feta, with Greek yogurt topping
2: avocado, black olive, radish, carrot slices, topped with sriracha mayo
3: tomato, avocado, sausage, bacon, topped with sriracha mayo
I'm not a huge cucumber lover, but in this case the cucumber is just a vehicle for the goodies on top - and you're getting more veggies (and less calories) than putting these toppings on crackers or bread. Finger food that is easy, small, pretty, has delish toppings, that are lower calorie and clean-up free? Perfect.
Happy moment ~ gypsies, tramps, and thieves...singing in the car, all by myself. couldn't care less if anyone is watching.
