ingredients

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
pepper

directions

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.

What a great idea for a portable salad. These would be welcome on any buffet table or at the weekend BBQ. These could be made ahead, and the cucumber cups filled at the last minute.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
