Crunchy Cream Cheese Cucumber Cups
(makes about 20)
These yummy appetizers are great for a hot summer snack and they are really easy to make.
Ingredients:
2 medium cucumbers
3 ounces low-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Ranch dressing
¼ teaspoon onion powder
dried dill or fresh dill, chopped
Directions:
1. Cut the ends off of the cucumber then cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2. Using a spoon or a melon-baller, hollow out a little cup, but do not go through the bottom of the slice.
3. In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Ranch dressing, yogurt and onion powder.
4. To fill the cucumber cup: Put the cream cheese mixture into a 1 quart freezer bag (sandwich size), cut a small piece out of the corner of the bag, and squeeze the cream cheese mixture into each cucumber cup (about 1 ½ teaspoon per cup).
5. Garnish with a sprinkle of dill. Serve cold.
