Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, finely diced
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes or 1 cup diced garden tomatoes
3/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)
1 medium carrot, shredded
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional) or 6 tablespoons grated vegan cheese (optional)
1/4 cup balsamic dressing or 1/4 cup favorite salad dressing
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small minced onion (optional)
3 cucumbers, see note
salt or lemon pepper Mrs. Dash seasoning mix

Steps:

  • Cut the cucumbers into 1 inch disks.
  • Toss all except 2 tbsp cheese, the dressing and cucumbers in a large bowl and season to taste. Chill until ready to fill cups.
  • Scoop out 1 tbsp from center of each disk with melon baller leaving sides and bottom intact.
  • Fill with about a tbsp of salad mix and top with remaining cheese if using.
  • Serve immed.
  • Note: It is a forgiving recipe. I omitted the basil, used Lemon Pepper Mrs Dash. My dressing was a Sweet and Sour Cherry poppy seed dressing. I added a small onion [I mean baby size] You can play with this recipe and your ingredients and it works well. Use garden fresh veggies for the best taste.
  • Note servings are not the number of cucumbers this makes. It should be about 36 cucumber slices.
