I love edible bowls. Nutritious and eco-friendly. But the best part? Less dishes! I’m a huge fan of that.
You can change up this recipe a little with smaller cucumbers so they are more of a personalized size. I then love to serve it with toasted baguette slices and some fresh fruit. It’s a really easy make ahead recipe. Make up the salad ahead and just cut the cucumbers last minute.
These cucumber boats are a fun way to serve many foods. Try egg salad, chicken salad or even ham salad for a different look to old stand-byes. Everyone will rave at your creativity at your next picnic or BBQ.
