Today's tasty summer recipe is from the inventive Christine Stanton of Prayer Bedes. Christine says, "here is a recipe I just made tonight, and it turned out quite good. The idea for the cucumber cups was found in a few places online. The filling I made up myself, with modifications from a few recipes. My mom has a curry sauce that she serves with grilled salmon, which led to the curried salmon salad idea."
Christine also has recommedations for "changing up" this recipe, "a filling with dill would also work nice. You could just leave out the curry powder, nuts, and raisins. Substituting Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise might also be a possibility. I am also thinking of trying something with Greek tzatsiki sauce and and grilled chicken next."
