Peel the cucumber using a vegetable peeler. Trim off ends. Chop the cucumber into bite-size rounds about 1/2-inch thick (you should end up with about 16 to 18 pieces). Using a melon baller, hollow out the centre of each round, being careful not to go all the way through. Set aside.Step 2

Using a small spoon, drop the filling into the cucumber rounds (or use a piping bag or squeeze bottle with trimmed tip). Garnish with basil ribbons. Chill until served.
