Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English cucumber
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, partially peel alternating strips of skin to create a striped pattern.
Slice the cucumbers into 1-inch thick rounds. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out a portion of the center from each round, creating a small cup. Be sure not to scoop all the way through to the bottom.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the cucumber cups, filling them generously.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Top each cucumber cup with half a cherry tomato as a garnish.
Arrange the cucumber delights on a serving platter and chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving.
