- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Instructions
Wash the English cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a serving platter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Make sure the blue cheese is evenly incorporated.
Finely chop the fresh chives and fold them gently into the blue cheese mixture.
Transfer the blue cheese spread into a piping bag with a star tip or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Pipe a dollop of the blue cheese spread onto each cucumber round.*
If desired, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and use them as garnish by placing one half on top of the spread on each cucumber round.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed fresh!
