Ingredients

1

large English or burpless cucumber, chilled

1/3

cup sun-dried tomato spread

3

tablespoons crumbled chèvre (goat) cheese

Fresh basil leaves, if desired

Preparation

Make lines or indentations lengthwise down cucumber at 1/4-inch intervals, using vegetable peeler or tines of fork. Cut cucumber into 32 slices, 1/2 inch each. Place on paper towels to drain.

Spread each slice with about 1 teaspoon tomato spread. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon cheese.
