Hors d'oeuvres needn't be complicated. This refreshing appetizer, for example, doesn't require any cooking: Cucumbers are simply washed, cut, and hollowed out, then filled with low-fat cottage cheese and topped with clover sprouts.
ExpandSlice cucumbers in half lengthwise; trim ends. Cut each half into 3/4-inch pieces.
Scoop out the center of each piece of cucumber with a melon baller, and fill with about 1/2 teaspoon cottage cheese. Garnish with clover sprouts, and serve.
These are perfect little bites to start a nice weekend dinner. Everyone loved them. I used an english cuke and topped them with a couple of sprouts. They look so fresh and taste that way too.
