Chevre, Scapes and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches (Bread-Free)

• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 bunch fresh garlic scapes or 1 small bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
• 8 ounces fresh goat cheese (chevre)
• fresh ground black pepper
• 2 medium English cucumbers, washed, unpeeled
• loose leaf red leaf lettuce or arugula
• lemon slice

1. Mix the lemon zest and herbs into the goat cheese.
2. Add a sprinkle of ground black pepper, to taste.
3. Allow mixture to rest 30 minutes, covered, so that cheese can absorb the flavors.
4. Slice the cucumbers into 1/8" disks.
5. Spread a bite-size portion of the cheese mixture between two slices of cucumber, making a mini-sandwich.
6. Serving suggestion: To serve, I placed the "sandwiches" on a platter with a bed of loose leaf red lettuce and a little bit of arugula.
7. Garnish platter with lemon slices if desired.
8. Servings are estimated.
