Cucumber Bites with Cream Cheese

A Light and Refreshing Appetizer

These cucumber bites are crisp, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Perfect as a party starter or healthy snack, they come together in minutes with just a few ingredients.


Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced into thick rounds

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Cherry tomatoes or smoked salmon for topping (optional)


Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix cream cheese with dill, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.

2. Slice the Cucumber

Cut cucumber into ½-inch thick rounds. Use a melon baller or spoon to gently scoop out a small well in the center without going through the bottom.

3. Assemble the Bites

Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into each cucumber round. Top with a halved cherry tomato or a small piece of smoked salmon for extra flair.

4. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
