Chicken Salad In Cucumber Cups
I’m so excited to share this fabulous idea with you! I don’t know about you, but I’m totally ready for Spring! I love lighter and brighter food that Spring inspires! My friend Sarah brought these amazing chicken salad filled cucumber cups to my birthday “party” last week.
Aren’t they beautiful?
I think chicken salad in cucumber cups are perfect for parties, baby showers, brunches and luncheons! For the girly part in me, I think they would be so fun to eat at a tea party!
My Favorite Chicken Salad Recipe:
- Cooked Shredded Chicken
- Grapeseed Oil Vegenaise
- Dash of salt
- Craisins
- Cashews
I always eyeball the amount of ingredients…it’s just easier that way. 🙂
To make the cucumber cups, peel and cut cucumbers into chunks. Then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Be sure not to go all the way through because you need a “base” in the bottom of the cucumber cup.
Stuff the cucumber cups with chicken salad. Cover and chill. Serve and enjoy!!

@Speckle of Dirt, Yes! So easy to eat with your fingers. 🙂
We like chicken salad, too. We use apples and craisins in the recipe. I’ve never seen it served in cucumber cups- how neat!
What a great idea! So simple, and yet so clever. I have to admit, though, that my funny bone was tickled that the chicken salad calls for veganaise.

Ha! I can see how that would be amusing. 🙂 The grape seed oil vegenaise is AMAZING! 🙂
These look so light and yummy… I dont like mayonnaise at all but I do like veganaise. I will have to try this soon.
What a GREAT idea! I love those little cucumber cups.
I am ready for spring…more fresh fruits and veggies and more grilling!
I’m stopping by from Tasty Tuesday. Thanks for sharing this cute idea.

It should be a lot of fun, hope you can join us!!
