Ingredients

2 pieces long english cucumbers- cut into 8 each- washed but not peeled

1 package of Boursin light cheese

1/2 cup of finely chopped arugula

1/2 cup of finely chopped red peppers

1/4 cup of fresh chives

10 chopped basil leaves

Kosher salt and pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the cheese, arugla, half of the chopped red pepper, chives and basil and season with kosher salt and pepper.

With a melon baller or a small spoon, carefully, scoop out the insides of the cucumber pieces, ensuring that you leave the bottoms so that the filling stays in.

Scoop a healthy amount of the cheese mixture into each cup. Top with more of the fresh red peppers. If you are like me, and have never tried Boursin cheese before - be warned. This stuff is incredibly delicious.
