    Yum, yum, yum! Can wait to try it. I see that you eat with your eyes first too! Here's mine. druwy9ku0sei.jpg It's sub made with a cucumber as the roll. I eat this a lot. I mix goat or cream cheese with herbs and spices, use lean meats and lots of other veggies. Then my "fries" are mango and avocado spears. There's no real recipe because the possibilities are endless.

    This particular one has cream cheese mixed with a little really sharp cheddar, spiced sea salt, pepper. and the scooped out cucumber seeds; basil and baby spinach leaves, and a slice each of deli ham, turkey, and roast beef. I cut the cucumber down the middle (scooped out the seeds for the cream cheese mixture), then filled the scooped out part with cream cheese then layered the meats and greens.

    Thank you for sharing, what a nice low carb lunch. I bet it holds up well too. I'm going to give this a try.

    The salmon patties look so good along with that salad. I don't use a lot of canned fish but will have to try these.

    MIND BLOWN. I love the idea of using cucumber as bread. Thanks so much for such a creative take on sandwiches!

    DH took a couple pics fir me,but didn't wait till theses were done.The low cal cream cheese had added sharp cheese,garlic,pepper & Italian seasoning.Used green onion,red pepper & thin slice corned beef.
    Cut them into thick slices,served with ripe olives & cherry tomatoes.Very tasty & filling. Will try chicken salad next.0e10kc2sylu8.jpg

    I love salmon patties... Sometimes I mix in a bit of cheddar cheese and dill relish or chow chow.

    Not new to most,but my usual canned salmon recipe is using un-drained salmon,an egg white,cracker crumbs a tsp or 2 of yellow mustard,tsp of dried dill. Sometimes add 1/4 C of mayo or ranch dressing........in place of egg white.It's all good.

    PS Is there a recipe for the Asian inspired creation?
