--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3                    Cucumbers
   2      cn            Salmon (7 3/4 oz ea) -- drained
                        - and flaked
   1      oz            Cream cheese
   1      ts            Dried dill
   1      ds            Garlic powder
     1/2  c             Red bell pepper -- finely diced

Special equipment: Zester for scoring cucumbers.

Score the cucumbers with the zester. Slice about 1-1/2" off one end
and, with a spoon, carefully hollow out the inside, removing the
seeds, to form a tubular cucumber shell.

Prepare the filling by combining the salmon with the cream cheese,
dill, and garlic powder. Fill the hollowed cucumbers with the salmon
mixture and chill for 1 hour.

Just before serving time, carefully slice the scored cucumber into
1/2" rounds. Garnish by lightly sprinkling each round with the diced
red pepper for a colorful confetti effect.
