Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Stuffed Cucumbers

Using a peeler,create stripes on the outside of the cucumbers by peeling along length of cucumber,leaving every other section intact>Cut off ends of cucumber and slice into one inch rounds.Using a melon baller,scoop out the seeds,and the inner flesh from 2\3 of each cucumber slice.DO NOT scoop all the way through.Set aside.In a bowl combine equal parts creem cheese and sour cream.Mix in salmon ,shallots,lemon juice,salt and pepper ,combining throughly.Tranfer the mixture to a pastry bag with a 8 star tip.Pipe the filing generously into each cucumber section.I garnish with a sprig or parsley or dill if I have it..PERSONAL NOTE::I often use a small zip lock bag to pipe the filling ,jut cut off a small end of a corner and pipe the filling that way...I buy the smoked salmon in the sea food area by the coolers where most store keep their imatation crab meat...For a large group ,I double or triple this recipe...
