Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large cucumbers
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

3. Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cucumber round with the herbed cream cheese mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and additional chopped dill to create the dill drizzle.
5. Drizzle the dill dressing over the stuffed cucumber bites just before serving and garnish with extra dill if desired.
6. Arrange the cucumber bites on a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: These cucumber bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

To ensure the cucumbers remain crisp, slice them just before serving. If you want a more intense flavor, allow the cream cheese mixture to sit in the refrigerator for an hour before filling the cucumbers. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

You can substitute dill with fresh basil or chives for a different herbaceous twist. For a vegan version, use a plant-based cream cheese. Leftover filling can be spread on crackers or used as a dip with veggies!
