Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 60 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dill
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise.
Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds to create a hollow cavity without breaking the cucumber shell.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, chopped dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture evenly into the hollowed-out cucumber halves.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them on top of the filling for added color and flavor.
Optionally, garnish with extra chopped herbs for a touch of elegance.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours if preparing ahead.
