I am an appetizer kind of gal. I love munching on finger foods even more than eating a full meal. I have been known to bring carrots, celery, peppers, radishes, and other veggies with some dip to work as my lunch. So when it comes to parties or light lunch ideas, I loo to appetizers and finger foods.
One of the dishes I made for hubby’s party was this super easy yet healthy recipe that can be whipped up in just a few minutes. I saw it on Pinterest and thought it to be the perfect finger food, in my opinion, with lots of flavor and a bit of crunch. I loved it and others did too, but some did not care for it. So it is a matter of texture and opinion, just like any recipe! Maybe you want to give it a try!
Chicken Salad on Cucumbers Recipe
2 Cups Shredded, Roasted Chicken
1/2 cup Mayo
2 tbsp Sour Cream (optional)
2 Stalks Celery, chopped
Salt
Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Cucumbers, sliced in rounds
Directions: Cook and cool your chicken. Remove the skin, shred into bite size pieces. Place about 2 cups into a bowl. Add in all other ingredients, except the cucumbers. Mix and adjust the seasonings to taste. If you like it a bit more creamy, the sour cream will help with that. I usually just use mayo.
Peel and slice your cucumbers into rounds. Lay them on a tray and top with a dollop of chicken salad.

Great idea. I bet this would be good with tuna salad too.
This recipe looked so good, I copied it down. I am due to make this this coming weekend. I thank you for the share.
I like to sub greek yogurt instead of mayo and it still tastes great. Healthy alternative too.
Yummy recipe, and so easy. I do the same thing with tuna as well.
Oh looks so yummy. Seems the cucumber would give it a nice crunch and like the addition of the lemon and sour cream to the chicken salad mixture.
This looks like a great snack. It could be served for,a luncheon in scooped out cucumber halves
And then cut up or even in pepper halves.
Very good recipe. Love tuna salad and sometimes put cucumbers in it.
