Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers
- 12 cherry or grape tomatoes
- 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
- 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, 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
TIP: A small melon baller would also work to make the divots in the center of the cucumbers.
TIP: 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.
TIP: No piping or pastry bag? Fill a sandwich baggie and clip the corner off.
