- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds to create a hollow cavity without breaking the cucumber shell.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice, chopped dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.
Step 5
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture evenly into the hollowed-out cucumber halves.
Step 6
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them on top of the filling for added color and flavor.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with extra chopped herbs for a touch of elegance.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours if preparing ahead.
