CREAM CHEESE: If you want to change up the flavor of the cream cheese mixture on top or to save time and eliminate the fresh herbs and spices (you’ll still need to add the ranch dressing and mayo to thin it out), there are plenty of herbed cream cheese flavors available that would be delicious

GARNISH: You could top these bites with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or chives as well. If you like a little kick, you could add finely chopped jalapeno or crushed red pepper flakes.

VARIATIONS: Cucumbers are the perfect base for lots of yummy toppings. You could also top them with buffalo chicken dip, smoked salmon, hummus, egg salad, or tuna salad.

How To Make This Cucumber Bites Recipe

STEP ONE: Wash, peel, and slice the cucumbers into half-inch slices, discarding the ends.

STEP TWO: Remove a little of the center of the cucumber with a small measuring spoon, making a divot in the cucumber.

STEP THREE: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing until smooth and creamy.

STEP FOUR: Add dill, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning and mix until combined.

STEP FIVE: Place the filling into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling onto each of the cucumber rounds.

STEP SIX: Slice the tomatoes in half and place a piece onto each cucumber filling.

STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

Storing These Cucumber Bites With Cream Cheese

IN THE FRIDGE: You can make this easy cucumber appetizer ahead of time and chill until you’re ready to serve. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a day.

IN THE FREEZER: We would not recommend freezing cucumber bites.

I’m completely obsessed with these colorful little appetizers. They make a fun, bite-sized addition to any party food table.

I’ve served them for birthday parties, baby showers, and even game-day gatherings, and they are always a big hit. The crunchy, juicy cucumber tastes amazing with the tomatoes and herbed filling.

I hope you enjoy these tasty little cucumber bites soon!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cucumbers
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons Ranch dressing
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced fine
• ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 12 cherry or grape tomatoes
• Black pepper, for garnish

Instructions

 

• Wash, peel, and slice the cucumbers into half-inch slices discarding the ends.
• Remove a little of the center of the cucumber with a small measuring spoon making a divot in the cucumber.
• Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing until smooth and creamy.
• Add dill, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning and mix until combined.
• Place the filling into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling onto each cucumber.
• Slice the tomatoes in half and place a piece onto each cucumber filling.
• Sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

Notes

• A small melon baller would also work to make the divots in the center of the cucumbers.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well with the rest of the ingredients and doesn’t leave lumps.
• No piping or pastry bag? Fill a sandwich baggie and clip the corner off.
