Cherry Tomatoes with Cucumber Stuffing
alt.cooking-chien/Traci & Jeff Poole/2000

12 cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 teaspoon dillweed
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Pinch of white pepper
Pinch of salt

Slice off top of cherry tomatoes and scoop out pulp (a melon-baller works well). Combine cucumber with the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Fill cherry tomatoes with the cucumber mixture. Chill well before serving.

Time Saving Variation: Combine your favorite salad dressing mix with softened cream cheese. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip with the cream cheese mixture and pipe into hollowed-out cherry tomato.
