Cucumber and tomato appetizer

Small snacks of vegetables and cream cheese are very tasty, fresh and even healthy! With all the advantages, it's nowhere easier to cook them! And very quickly! In general, it is a super dish, ideal for parties or a festive feast, and if you prepare them for the arrival of guests, they will surely be impressed.

Cucumbers, and it's better to take large ones, wash them, dry them with paper towels, peel them and cut them into thick circles 1.2-1.5 cm thick. With the help of a small spoon, we remove a little of the inner part of the cucumber, where the seeds are, as if making a small depression in each circle. We spread the cucumber circles on a large, flat and beautiful dish. If there is too much cucumber juice, then it is worth getting each circle a little wet in the recess with a paper napkin.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine together cream cheese, which is better to get out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes softer, and mayonnaise. Knead the cheese and mix everything thoroughly until it is completely homogeneous. Mayonnaise is best used high-quality and delicious. The taste of the finished snack directly depends on this.

Wash, dry with a paper towel and finely chop fresh dill. Add the chopped greens to the mixture of cream cheese and mayonnaise. In the same place, pour a little fine salt and garlic powder. We mix everything well again. An important moment! We taste the mixture. If it seems that salt or garlic flavor and aroma are not enough, add more of them. Garlic powder, for lack of it, can be replaced with fresh - in this case, it must be passed through the press. One clove is enough.

We put the prepared filling in the cooking bag, install the star nozzle. We put the filling on each cucumber circle (about half or 2/3 tablespoons).

Wash, dry with a paper towel and cut in half (lengthwise, but you can also cross) cherry tomatoes. We insert them into the cheese on each cucumber circle. Almost done!

I wash fresh parsley, dry it, leave the twigs whole or tear them into smaller twigs - if desired. Sprinkle the snack with ground black pepper, ideally freshly ground. Decorate the snack with sprigs of parsley and serve it on the table. If the feast is planned a little later, it will be well preserved in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. But it's still better to cook it before serving (you can prepare the filling in advance, and cut and assemble it later).

You can enjoy!
