Instructions
Make the herb cream cheese first. Combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and herbs in a stand mixer. Mix until well combined. Fill a piping bag with a star tip with this mixture.
Prepare the cucumbers next. After peeling, use a fork to score the sides. Cut them into 1-inch cubes. Carve a half-moon-shaped hollow out of the center of each cucumber slice using a melon baller.
Pipe the herb cream cheese into each cucumber slice’s hollow. Aim for a half-inch protrusion of cream cheese from the top.
In each cucumber slice, press half a cherry tomato into the herb cream cheese.
Sprinkle a bit more salt, herbs, and spice mix on top for an extra blast of flavor and color. Chill the cucumber bits in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Finally, serve these delectable morsels chilled. Enjoy!
These Cream Cheese Cucumber Bites are the ideal healthy but delectable finger food for any event or a refreshing snack on a hot day. Enjoy!
