Really nice finger food. I had over 1 1/2 lbs garlic scapes from the farmers market so wasn't sure how much constituted 1 bunch. I only had 4 oz chevre so after asking the recipe poster's advice went with 3 scapes. I think two would have been enough for my taste but maybe I just needed to get the scapes chopped more finely (I just thinly sliced). I had a standard cucumber not English but it worked fine. Served on red lettuce from the garden. Thanks CG for a new experience for me! :)
