Ingredients

• 2 large cucumbers
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh dill
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 6 whole cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly.

Step 2

Cut each cucumber into 1.5-inch thick slices, yielding around 8 pieces per cucumber.

Step 3

Use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully scoop out the center of each cucumber slice, leaving a small base to form a 'cup'. Be careful not to scoop all the way through.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off.

Step 6

Pipe the mixture into each cucumber cup until full.

Step 7

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place one half on top of each cucumber cup as a garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
