Stuffed Cucumber Bites: A Refreshing and Easy Party Appetizer Looking for a fun and refreshing appetizer that’s as easy to make as it is delicious? These stuffed cucumber bites are the perfect blend of crisp, cool cucumber paired with a rich, creamy filling. They’re ideal for parties, gatherings, or just as a healthy snack to enjoy any time of day. Not only are they light and satisfying, but they also add a colorful touch to your table. To make enough for about 4-6 people, you’ll need the following ingredients: 2 large cucumbers, 4 oz of cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of fresh dill (chopped), 1 clove of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and a few cherry tomatoes for garnish. Start by washing and slicing the cucumbers into thick rounds, about 1-1.5 inches each. You want them thick enough to hold the filling without being flimsy. Once sliced, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out a bit of the center from each cucumber slice, creating a small well for the filling. Be careful not to scoop all the way through; you just want to create a space for the filling to sit in. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creamy filling is bursting with flavor thanks to the garlic and dill, while the lemon juice adds a refreshing brightness that pairs perfectly with the cucumber. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cucumber well with the cream cheese mixture. Make sure to mound the filling slightly above the edge of the cucumber for a nice presentation. For an extra touch, you can top each stuffed cucumber bite with a slice of cherry tomato or even a small piece of smoked salmon for added flavor and color. These stuffed cucumber bites are the perfect combination of crunchy, creamy, and fresh. They’re a hit at any gathering and take just minutes to prepare. Plus, they’re light and healthy, making them an excellent snack option that doesn’t weigh you down. So, are you ready to make these stuffed cucumber bites for your next event?
