Recipe Notes:

Cucumber Substitution: Bell peppers or celery can be used in place of cucumbers.

Cream Cheese Substitution: If you do not eat dairy, vegan cream cheese can be used at a 1:1 ratio to traditional cream cheese. Mayonnaise is also an option, or you can altogether omit the cream cheese.

Avocado Substitution: Guacamole can be used in place of mashed avocado, or it can also be omitted altogether, if you prefer.

Salt-Free Everything Bagel Seasoning Substitution: Everything Bagel Seasoning that includes salt as an ingredient can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio. If you do this, be sure to omit the added salt the recipe calls for. If you don’t want to purchase pre-made seasoning, try this homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning recipe.

Net Carbs: Per serving, the cucumber boats contain 2.5 grams of net carbs. The recipe, as written, yields 2 servings. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

Refrigerator Storage: If you make these in advance, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. After 1 day, the texture and flavor of your cucumber boats will begin to change.
