Cucumber Cups

 This is an hor dourve recipe that I make every year for Christmas Eve at Mother-in-law's house. Simple and refreshing. 

2 large cucumbers 

1/4 cup cooked lobster or crab (imitation works too)

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped 

1 tsp fresh lime zest

1/4 tsp lime juice 

3 tsp green onion, thinly sliced

1&1/2 tbsp olive oil

Salt / Pepper to taste

Celery or 1 inch skinny sliced of green onion for garnish 

Cut cucumbers crosswise into 1 inch pieces.  Cut a small amount of the peeling off 4 sides. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a small amount to make a cup. Lightly salt them and turn them upside down onto a paper towel to draw out some of the moisture.  

Meanwhile, make the filling:

Combine the rest of the ingredients. Fill each cup, garnish and serve.
