Cottage Canapes

I just came back from a few days at the cottage. I was completely grateful to have some time to myself, lounging around in the sun and being completely lazy. These canapes (a fancy french word for appetizers) are simple to make, refreshing, and diet friendly :) Enjoy-- waterfront and deck optional

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons of real mayonnaise (sub light for diet friendly)

- 1 can of white tuna- drained and flaked

- 2 large cucumbers

- 2 slices of cheese (optional)

- 1 small pepper (optional-- sub hot pepper for extra zing)

- 15 croutons (optional)

serves 10-15

Directions:

1. Combine tuna and mayonnaise until smooth. Season to taste

2. Cut cucumbers into 1" slices, and scoop out centre. For added appeal cut the edges of the cucumber to create a pattern.

3. Fill cucumber slices with filling and garnish. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. 

* To make the pepper twist, cut a small thin strip of pepper, and twist around a chopstick. Simple enough:)
