Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz feta cheese (crumbled)

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)

2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped, plus extra for garnish)

Cherry tomatoes (halved, for garnish)

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Slice the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out some of the center of each cucumber round to create small cavities for the filling. Set aside.

    Make the Whipped Feta Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and fresh dill. Use a hand mixer or food processor to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

      Fill the Cucumber Rounds: Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill each cucumber round with the whipped feta mixture.

        Garnish: Top each filled cucumber bite with a half cherry tomato and a sprinkle of extra fresh dill for a touch of color and flavor.

          Optional Drizzle: If desired, lightly drizzle each bite with balsamic glaze for an added layer of taste.

            Chill and Serve: Arrange the whipped feta cucumber bites on a serving platter. Chill for about 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Enjoy!
