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.
