These bites remind me of warm afternoons and garden-fresh snacks — crunchy, creamy, and made with love. They’re a quick fix when you want something light but flavorful. Whether you’re prepping for a summer gathering or need a fridge-friendly nibble, these cucumber boats are a guilt-free favorite.
2 large cucumbers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp chopped dill or parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt & pepper, to taste
Paprika, for garnish
Optional: chopped olives, green onion, or crumbled bacon
Slice cucumbers into 3-inch chunks, then cut each piece in half lengthwise.
Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the center seeds.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spoon or pipe the filling into each cucumber half.
Sprinkle with paprika and extra herbs. Chill or serve immediately.
Fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor — a simple bite that feels like a treat!
