How to Make Low Carb Stuffed Cucumbers
1 – Wash the cucumbers and peel. Peel strips off of the sides if you are making standing. If you are making boat-style stuffed cucumbers, leave some peel on to keep your tray from getting too wet.
2 – If desired make curls from the skin that has been cut off. These make a nice topping and add a decorative flair.
3 – In a small mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese until it is smooth.
4 – Add the Garlic salt and continue mixing
5 – Stir in the crumbled bacon and the parmesan cheese.
Pro Tips and FAQs
Different Types of Cucumbers
Any cucumber will work in this recipe. If using English cucumber, slice them into 2-inch chunks and hollow out enough of the center to add the filling.
Gerkin size and very small picking size cucumbers do not work well, but most are easy to use.
Spice Choices
Season the filling to suit your tastes. If you like a little heat, add some chilli powder and cayenne pepper. For a savory flavour a little rosemary and thyme. This recipe is great for adding different flavours.
Storing Instructions
Store stuffed cucumbers in an airtight container and refrigerate for no more than a day. They tend to get watery after a day and are best served fresh.
