Cucumber cups with skinny artichoke dip

Skinny Artichoke Dip In Fun Cucumber CupsSkip the chips and serve a fun appetizer in a cucumber! This is a great way to get that taste you love with a fraction of the calories. Feel free to make it your own and replace the dip with your favorite hummus or guacamole.

I started making these years ago after seeing cucumber cups on Iron Chef. I'm a little embarrassed at the amount of time it took me to figure out how to make these little gems because it couldn't be easier. All you need is a melon baller.
