DILLY CUCUMBER BITES

These fresh Dilly Cucumber Bites make a great healthy appetizer. Cucumber slices are topped with a fresh dill cream cheese and yogurt mixture, and finished with a juicy cherry tomato.

Parties and get-togethers are a great excuse to make some of my favorite more indulgent treats, like brownies and cookies and cheesy dips. But this past month I had so many occasions to make snacks that I actually got a little sick of eating junk. Can you believe it?

So I wanted to make a healthy, but still delicious, appetizer to take to a recent potluck. Though I haven’t had many weird cravings during this pregnancy, I have been pretty thirsty since the very beginning.

My thirst has me reaching for juicy foods like watermelon, oranges and cucumbers. Sometimes I’ll just eat a cucumber as if it were a banana. Can’t get enough of those suckers.

Anywho, we have a ton of fresh dill growing in the garden right now and it’s one of my all time favorite herbs. Last year it bolted as soon as it got hot out, so I’m trying to take advantage while it’s still cool and use all the dill I can.

Dill and cucumber go together like PB&J (hello, dill pickles), so I thought a dilly cream cheese or yogurt would be perfect for topping some cukes. I ended up using a little of each, plus some ranch dressing mix for extra flavor.

These little bites were so tasty and I didn’t feel too bad eating a million of them since they are mostly veggies! They were the perfect healthy snack and everyone loved them.
