Ingredients

To whip up these Cucumber Toasties, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 oz smoked salmon or deli meats (optional)
  • Cherry tomatoes (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Cucumber Toasties:

  1. Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Once it’s clean, slice it into about 1-inch thick rounds to create your “toast” base.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until it’s well blended and creamy.
  3. If you’re using smoked salmon or deli meats, cut them into thin slices or small pieces.
  4. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on each cucumber slice to create an even layer.
  5. If using, place a piece of the smoked salmon or deli meat on top of the cream cheese layer.
  6. Garnish each toastie with a half or whole cherry tomato for a burst of color and flavor.
  7. Arrange the Cucumber Toasties on a platter and serve immediately for the best taste. They can be enjoyed right away or stored in the refrigerator for a short time before serving, though they are best fresh.

These Cucumber Toasties are not just visually appealing, but they are also incredibly satisfying. Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavors to make them your own. Enjoy your refreshing snack!
