Zesty 3-Ingredient Cucumber Salad (or Bites)
These fresh cucumber bites are the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, and refreshing. They’re light, flavorful, and ideal for parties, snacks, or pairing with heavier meals.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced into rounds
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 10–12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Garlic, salt, and pepper (to taste)
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the cucumbers
Wash and slice the cucumbers into thick rounds (about 1/2 inch each).
Tip: Thicker slices help keep the cucumbers crisp and prevent them from releasing too much water.
Step 2: Make the creamy topping
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or yogurt), and garlic until smooth. Stir in the fresh dill.
Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is soft so the mixture becomes smooth and easy to spread.
Step 3: Assemble the bites
Add a spoonful of the creamy mixture onto each cucumber slice. Place a halved cherry tomato on top and press gently.
Tip: The cream mixture helps hold the tomato in place.
Step 4: Finish and serve
Sprinkle with a little paprika, salt, pepper, and extra herbs if you like.
Simple, fresh, and always a crowd favorite.
