Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cucumbers into 1-inch thick rounds and scoop out the center to create small cups.
- In a mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Fill each cucumber cup with the feta mixture, heaping it slightly for an appealing presentation.
- Garnish with additional herbs on top, if desired, and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Note: These cups are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
To keep the cucumber cups from getting soggy, scoop out the seeds and pat them dry with a paper towel before filling. You can substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
These cups can be made ahead of time; just fill them shortly before serving to maintain their freshness. Consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top for an extra pop of flavor!
