Small boats or cucumber rings

Another way of filling cucumbers is cut them in section obtaining many cylinders thick enough and then empty the interior.
In this way the circumference of the cucumber remains intact and you will have many "rings" to stuff like gods Bon Bon.
Creamy cheese filling
You can stuff your cucumber boats with raw and finely chopped seasonal vegetables or with cheese cubes or cold cuts, but it's important that everything is wrapped in something creamy. The ideal is one cheese cream.
Choose from many fresh and soft cheeses such as robiola, goat cheese, crescenza, ricotta, stracchino and also the gorgonzola if you love strong and decisive tastes. You can also mix the various cheeses and add spices and herbs tturning everything into a cream.

Also in this case add a crunchy part choosing between sliced almonds or chopped pistachios.
Fruit version
Since the cucumber is very delicate and almost tasteless, we can play with both salty and sweet ingredients.
