Delicious and PERFECT for a hot summer evening. I used quartered red and yellow grape tomatoes to add color. These are refreshing and different. Thanks!

This is a fun recipe. It makes a very nice presentation. We enjoyed these for lunch. I think I would like to try making cucumber slices and put the topping on the slices. Thanks for a nice recipe. Made for the Auz Joey Swap #19.

This is such a fun way to eat your veggies. I used garden cucumbers and fat free feta. The flavors go very well together, and it is an enjoyable dish. Goat cheese would probably be really good in these too.

I did add a finely minced green onion and used mixed Italian herbs as I was out of oregano. Quick to get to the table!
