Cucumber Appetizer Bites

These are 2 different types of cucumber bites I made for appetizers for Le Diner en Blanc.  They are tasty starters that are healthy, and light enough to leave you with room for your main course.  I packed these up in single layers in Tupperware and brought them with us.  They traveled well and were delicious!  Feel free to get creative with the toppings and customize the "bites" to your taste.  You could add olives, tapenade, goat cheese and herbs to make your own creations.
