Karpathian Cucumber Boats

Submitted by 2Bleu

"This spread is so simple to make but it does need to be refrigerated at least 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld. It also may be frozen in an air- tight container for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator at least 24 hours afterwards and stir before serving. Karpathos is a Greek Isle."

Yum! This was so good, even though I left out the cayenne! I used dried dill and scaled the recipe down to 1 cucumber. Thanks! Made for Photo tag.

This is a delicious way to serve cucumbers. I used reduced fat cream cheese, sour cream and feta and it still tasted great. My DH absolutely loved these! This will definitely replace cream cheese filled celery on the holiday relish tray. Thanks for posting 2Bleu!
