Ingredients - Preparation Method:

3 cucumbers 2 7.75 oz cans salmon -- drained and flaked 1 ounce cream cheese 1 teaspoon dried dill dash garlic powder 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper Special equipment: Zester for scoring cucumbers. Score the cucumbers with the zester. Slice about 1 1/2 inches off one end and, with a spoon, carefully hollow out the inside, removing the seeds, to form a tubular cucumber shell. Prepare the filling by combining the salmon with the cream cheese, dill and garlic powder. Fill the hollowed cucumbers with the salmon mixture and chill for 1 hour. Just before serving time, carefully slice the scored cucumber into 1/2-inch rounds. Garnish by lightly sprinkling each round with the diced red pepper for a colorful confetti effect.
