These Refreshing Cucumber Bites are the perfect party appetizer or light snack! They’re easy to assemble, bursting with fresh flavors, and look absolutely beautiful on a serving platter. Creamy dill-infused yogurt is the base for a simple yet flavorful topping, while a sprinkle of fresh dill and a touch of red pepper flakes add a pop of color and a hint of spice.
Instructions:
Prepare the cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. If you prefer, you can peel the cucumbers before slicing.
Create a base: Arrange the cucumber rounds on a serving platter.
Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
Assemble the bites: Spoon a dollop of the yogurt mixture onto each cucumber round.
Add the finishing touches: Sprinkle a few red pepper flakes over the yogurt topping for a touch of color and a hint of heat. Garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill for an elegant touch.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate the cucumber bites for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Ingredients:
1 large cucumber
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
Recipe Note: For a creamier topping, use full-fat yogurt. You can also substitute the yogurt with cream cheese for a richer flavor. Feel free to experiment with different herbs like chives or parsley in the topping.
