3 slices crisp cooked bacon, chopped 1/4 cup diced tomato 1/2 cup finely chopped lettuce and baby spinach 1 1/2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise Pinch salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 large cucumber Minced parsley or green onion

1. Combine bacon, tomato and greens with mayonnaise. Season with pepper; set aside.

2. Peel cucumber. Trim off ends, and slice in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out seeds; discard. Place cucumber in a glass dish. Divide BLT mixture between segments, mounding in hollowed areas. Sprinkle with minced parsley or green onion, if desired. Slice into 2-inch pieces.

Make these snacks when cucumbers are plentiful and large enough to easliy hollow out with a spoon. You may make these up to 12 hours ahead of time and chill until serving.
