Deviled Cucumber Cups




Ingredients:
4 large eggs, hard boiled
3 medium cucumbers (each at least 7 in. long)
2 1/2 Tbs. miracle whip
1 1/2 Tbs. minced red onion (about 1/2 small)
1-2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 Tbs. fresh chopped cilantro and topping

Peel the shell off of the hard boiled eggs. Dice the egg into very small pieces and set aside in a medium sized bowl. Meanwhile, run a fork lengthwise all of the way down the side of the cucumber, and around the entire cucumber. This will give it the wavy pattern on the side. Discard the ends of the cucumber and cut each one into 12 slices. Using a melon baller, scoop the middle of each slice of cucumber out, leaving a small amount on the bottom. Set aside. To the cut up hard boiled eggs, add the miracle whip, minced onion, lemon juice, salt and cilantro. Stir together until well combined. Spoon a small amount of the egg mixture into each cucumber slice "bowl". Garnish with a small piece of cilantro.
