  • Using a zester, vegetable peeler or fork, score the length of each cucumber to create a striped effect.
  • Remove the ends and cut each cucumber into 3/4 inch rounds.
  • Using a melon baller, scoop out the seeds from the center of each round to form a cup.
  • Reserve 1 tbsp of the walnuts as a garnish.
  • Combine remaining ingredients and stir until well blended.
  • Spoon the mixture into the cucumber cups, garnish with the remaining nuts and chill until serving time.

  1. Yum! Perhaps the cucumbers in my area are small -- I made a 3/4 batch (18 cups) and needed two. Be sure to toast the walnuts for extra goodness. Use more green onions! While pleasant and creamy, it's kind of bland, so I add half a jar of minced garlic and a few tablespoons of italian seasoning.
     
  2. These are great if you like bleu cheese. A lot of people don't though. Luckily, I'm not one of those people. I stuffed celery with it. I also decided that it is great to put on hamburgers.
     
  3. Made these for backstage cast of 14. They were gone before intermission. Nice presentation of color. I just stuck a 1/2 walnut on top of each. Thanks!
     
  4. Very attractive and fun to make, thanks for a great dish. I will make these again.
     
  5. I love blue cheese, onions and cucumber! I'm not a big fan of nuts though so I left those out. I also, like another reviewer, spread it on 2in sticks of celery. There is something about the combination of blue cheese and celery! Great party finger food, thank you.
