Crab Cucumber Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Peel strips from cucumbers to create striped edges; cut each cucumber into 16 slices, about 1/4-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels; set aside. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice and pepper sauce until smooth. Fold in the crab, red pepper and onions. Place 1 heaping teaspoonful onto each cucumber slice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Cut each cucumber half crosswise into 4 pieces and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Let stand while making the filling.
• Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the celery, bell peppers, crabmeat, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, lemon juice and chopped dill.
• Pat the cucumbers dry (to remove the liquid and salt). Spoon the crab salad into the hollowed cucumbers. Garnish with more dill. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Score cucumber lengthwise with tines of fork if desired. Cut into 36 (1/4-inch) slices.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Beat in mayonnaise until well blended. Stir in chopped basil, onion, lemon peel and crabmeat.
• Spread or pipe about 1 teaspoon crabmeat mixture on each cucumber slice. Sprinkle with capers. Garnish with basil leaves.
