Description
These Dilly Cucumber Bites are a refreshing, no-cook appetizer made with crisp cucumber rounds topped with a creamy, tangy dill spread. Perfect for summer gatherings or light snacking.
Ingredients
1 large cucumber
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh dill sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Spread a dollop of the dill cream cheese mixture on each cucumber slice.
- 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.
