Hi, kbomb! I have that issue (#60) so I could look it up for you later tonight, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else comes along to post it sooner!

Here you go! I've made something very similar and they are good!

Crab Louis cucumber cups
Seedless English cucumbers make the best cups because of their thin, tender skin and slender uniform shape.

Makes 24-36 cups
Total time: 30 minutes
2-3 english cucumbers
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
2 T ketchup
2 t chili garlic sauce
1 t Worcestershire sauce
12 oz pasteurized crabmeat
½ cup red or yellow bell pepper, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
2 t lemon zest, minced
Salt & Pepper
Grape tomato slices
Strips of lemon zest

Peel cucumbers lengthwise to create stripes. Trim ends, then cut crosswise into ¾” wide pieces. Scoop seeds and flesh from centers making cups using a melon baller.

Combine mayo, cream cheese, ketchup, chili garlic sauce, and Worcestershire in a bowl. Fold in the crab, bell pepper, chives, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Fill cucumber cups with crab mixture.

Garnish with tomatoes and zest.
