Cucumber Yogurt Cups

If you need an appetizer for your New Years Eve Party, this is it. Your guests will love these cooling cucumber cups and everyone appreciates a healthy snack after the holidays. I used greek yogurt which is packed with protein and low in sugar. Cucumbers are mostly water which will help keep you hydrated as you sip on champagne. Happy New Year!

Ingredients

5 cucumbers peeled
1 1/4 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup cream cheese
3 tsp finely chopped fresh dill
2 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
3 tbs finely chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp salt to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp agave syrup
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/2 a lemon squeezed fresh
1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber for sauce

For the Yogurt Sauce:
In a mixing bowl combine greek yogurt and cream cheese and mix together well so there are little to no lumps. Add chopped dill, mint, parsley and minced garlic mix all ingredients together. Add salt, pepper, agave syrup, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and chopped cucumber. Mix all ingredients together until blended well.

Prepare the Cucumbers:
Cut the remaining cucumbers to about 3/4 inch thick. Try to keep them all close to the same size. Use a melon baller or small spoon and scoop out the middle of each cucumber leaving a little on the bottom to create a cup.

Assemble:
Line up your cucumber cups and place about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of yogurt sauce into cucumber. Place them on a tray and they are ready to serve!

Yields: about 30 cucumber cups
