Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 200 grams Cooked crab meat
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 pinch Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the cucumber and slice it into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Set the slices aside on a plate or tray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and freshly chopped dill.
Add salt and black pepper to the mixture, then stir until the ingredients are well combined into a creamy filling.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, place a dollop of the crab mixture onto each cucumber slice. Distribute the filling evenly among all slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of the crab filling for garnish, if desired.
Refrigerate the prepared cucumber slices for at least 10 minutes to chill before serving.
Serve cold as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
