Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 6 whole cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly.
Cut each cucumber into 1.5-inch thick slices, yielding around 8 pieces per cucumber.
Use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully scoop out the center of each cucumber slice, leaving a small base to form a 'cup'. Be careful not to scoop all the way through.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off.
Pipe the mixture into each cucumber cup until full.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place one half on top of each cucumber cup as a garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
