Appetizer of cucumbers Cooking festive original snacks in summer and autumn, when in abundance cheap or even their own vegetables and greens are a pleasure. You can fantasize and invent non-stop. Stuffed tomatoes, boats from colorful Bulgarian pepper, canapé and aubergines - everything is juicy, tasty and incredibly useful! And here is a new idea - rolls of fresh cucumbers. The combination of these juicy vegetables with cream cheese, pink pepper and herbs gives a very interesting, original taste. And the unusual design of this snack will not leave any of your guests indifferent. Do not be afraid of the presence of pink pepper peas in a recipe of cucumber rolls. This is generally not pepper, but a special, very fragrant spice, representing the dried or pickled berries of the tree of Schinus terebinthifolius, which grows in hot Brazil. They are not burning like black or red pepper, but sweet, with a barely perceptible peppery taste. You can add them not entirely, but pre-crush them with the plane of the knife. But decorating cucumber rolls is still better with whole peas.
