• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 20 canapes

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cucumber
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
• 2 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

directions

1. Slice the cucumber into ten discs, each about 1/4in thick.
2. Mix together the cream cheese, chili sauce, scallion, lemon juice and two-thirds of the peanuts. Spoon the mixture on top of the cucumber discs (to make them look neater, scoop the mixture between two teaspoons to give a nice shape).
