Cucumber Feta Bites

I love making these crisp, light and refreshing bites. I always have all the ingredients on hand. With my herb garden in bloom, I try to incorporate my fresh herbs in every meal I make. I served these as an hors d'ouerves at my Mother's Day brunch and my guests told me they could eat the whole tray by themselves.  I also enjoying making these as a snack. It's a perfect and a cooling bite for summer!





ingredients



2 cucumbers, washed and cut lengthwise (Seedless preferably)
1/4 cup of Feta cheese, crumbled (Goat's milk feta is my favorite!)
1 tablespoon of fresh mint chopped (you can use mint, parsley or dill)
Fresh ground pepper to taste
A pinch of Sea Salt


preparation


Once you cut the cucumber lengthwise begin to scoop out the middle with the seeds. (I used the scoop insides to make a tzatziki sauce for my grilled lamb.) Mix the feta, fresh herb, pepper and salt. Spoon into the gutted cucumber center. Slice the stuffed cucumber into 1 inch pieces or bite sized wedges. Serve immediately.
