Ingredients

2 cucumbers (1 thin, 1 slightly thicker)
1 pkg (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) Garlic & Herb Rub
2 carrots, peeled
1 yellow bell pepper

Directions

Cut a thin cucumber into 1½-2"(4-5 cm) pieces. Cut one side on a bias for a little pizazz. Hollow out the bias-cut end and fill with cream cheese mixed with Garlic & Herb Rub.
For the rim, cut slices from a thicker cucumber with the Simple Slicer on the #3 setting; attach with a bit of cream cheese.
Shave a thin piece of carrot with the Vegetable Peeler and wrap around the base of the cucumber, attaching with more cream cheese.
Cut a small square from a yellow bell pepper using Professional Shears and attach over the carrot with more cream cheese.
