Ingredients for cucumber dill
- 1 Hothouse or English cucumber
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
How to make cucumber dill
- Peel cucumber leaving some skin on for color. Slice into 1/4 inch slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon into a small ziploc bag. Snip the corner off with scissors. Pipe a very small amount on top of each slice. Sprinkle with tomatoes and feta if using.
- Chill until serving.
Pro tips
- For extra crispness, lightly salt the cucumber slices and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry before piping.
- If you don’t have fresh dill, a teaspoon of dried dill can be used, but fresh offers a much brighter flavor.
- Chill the piped cucumber dill bites for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and for them to firm up slightly. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Try these cucumber dill bites for your next event or as a simple, satisfying snack. They are versatile and always a crowd-pleaser!
