1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

 - Garnish each bite with a small sprig of fresh dill, if desired.
 - Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
 
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, as cucumbers can release water over time.
Dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream can be used for a vegan version.
Dried dill can be substituted for fresh; use 1 teaspoon dried dill.
English cucumbers are ideal for this recipe due to their thinner skin and fewer seeds.
You can prepare the dill spread up to 2 days in advance.
