Description

Ingredients

• 2 long cucumbers
• 16 cherry tomatoes
• 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
• 1 Tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons dill weed
• ½ teaspoon quality sea salt
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

• Combine cream cheese, sour cream, herbs and salt in a medium mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and set the mixture in the fridge to let the flavors meld, while you prep the veggies.
• Peel and slice the cucumbers. The slices should be ⅜ to ½ inch thick, so they will be sturdy and easy to handle as finger food. I got 16 slices from each cucumber.
• Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, lengthwise.
• You can simply spread the cheese spread onto the cucumber slices and they will be just as delicious, but I wanted to make them a little more decorative for holiday entertaining. To do that, simply pack the cheese spread into a piping bag. Be sure the tip you select has a wide enough opening to keep from being plugged by the grated Parmesan.
• I piped Creamy Parmesan Herb Spread into rosettes on top of each cucumber slice.
• Center one cherry tomato half on top of each appetizer.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!
