Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Large cucumbers | 2 |
| Cream cheese, softened | 1/2 cup |
| Sour cream or Greek yogurt | 2 tbsp |
| Fresh dill, chopped | 1 tbsp |
| Cherry tomatoes, halved | 10–12 |
| Garlic | To taste |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Optional Garnish
- Paprika
- Extra dill or herbs
Instructions
1. Slice the cucumbers
Rinse the cucumbers well and cut them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Thicker slices stay firm longer and help prevent excess moisture.
2. Prepare the creamy mixture
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the sour cream or yogurt. Mix until smooth, then add garlic and fresh dill. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Build the cucumber bites
Spoon a small amount of the creamy filling onto each cucumber slice. Top each one with a halved cherry tomato, pressing gently so it stays in place.
4. Garnish and serve
Finish with a sprinkle of paprika, black pepper, or extra herbs if desired. Serve chilled for the freshest flavor and best texture.
