1/4
cup diced tomato
1-1/2
tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise
Pinch salt
1/4
teaspoon black pepper
1
large cucumber
Minced parsley or green onion (optional)
Preparation:

Combine bacon, lettuce, spinach, tomato and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
2.
Peel cucumber. Trim off ends and slice in half lengthwise. Use spoon to scoop out seeds; discard seeds. Divide BLT mixture between cucumber halves, mounding in hollowed areas. Garnish with parsley. Cut into 2-inch pieces.

Make these snacks when cucumbers are plentiful and large enough to easily hollow out with a spoon. You may make these up to 12 hours ahead of time and chill until serving.
