Make dinner easy: Gearing up for spring and summer parties with a no-bake appetizer

Between graduation parties and summer gatherings I'm always looking for something different to make for an appetizer. Bonus, if it's something I can make or prep in advance. You can let your imagination run with this cucumber cup recipe. While I've included directions for a spicy crab filling you could fill these cucumber cups with anything from chicken salad from your local deli to takeout spicy crab from your local sushi restaurant. However you come up with the filling, these crispy cups make for an appetizer that qualifies as something a little bit different.
