Ingredients

1 English cucumber, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces.
1/4 cup gf cream cheese (about 2 ounces), softened
2 tablespoons gf Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon finely chopped basil
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons finely chopped Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over and well drained
1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped fennel bulb, plus fennel fronds, for garnish
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Using a melon baller, scoop out the pulp of the cucumber pieces, being careful not to break all the way through. The end result should be a cup.

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the gf mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, tarragon, parsley and lemon zest. Add the crabmeat, peas, fennel bulb and onion and stir gently until just combined. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the crab salad onto each cucumber cup and garnish with a bit of the fennel frond.
Tips
This appetizer is also great served on celery (as in photo) or on gf garlic crostini.
