Cook's Notes

what a great idea for an appetizer when you are in a hurry or company comes over without notice! Almost everyone has all these ingredients "on-hand". If you don't have scallions and cukes, you can do pepper strips or bagged broccoli slaw! I would even make a Greek version with red onion and cukes, and serve with tzadiki dip.
