Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, finely chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the cream cheese is smooth.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a plastic storage bag and snip off one corner for piping.
Pipe a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place one tomato half, cut side down, on top of each dollop of cream cheese.
Garnish with additional dill sprigs if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
