These miniature towers are made with cucumber slices, which make a great substitute for tartlets and a low-calorie appetizer. Pipe some savory cheese cream onto the cucumbers, top with a slice of grilled steak, a slice of grape tomato, and a couple of red onion slices, and serve as an appetizer with wine.
