How to Make Mediterranean Cucumber Cups
- **Prepare the Mediterranean Salad:** In a medium bowl, gently combine the red onion, green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, oregano, feta cheese, and parsley.
- **Dress the Salad:** Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Add lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine. Set aside.
- **Prepare the Cucumber Cups:** Wash and partially peel the cucumbers, leaving four vertical stripes of skin. Trim the ends.
- **Slice the Cucumbers:** Cut each cucumber into 3/4-inch thick slices. You should have approximately 20 slices.
- **Scoop the Cucumber Cups:** Using a melon baller or small spoon, carefully scoop out the center of each cucumber slice, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
- **Fill and Serve:** Fill each cucumber cup with 1-2 tablespoons of the Mediterranean salad. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing snack!
