CUCUMBER DILL BITES
This snack came about after we had been eating lots of sugary snacks, chips, and basically all of the unhealthy food.
I wanted something light, cool, and refreshing.
INGREDIENTS
- CUCUMBERS – I like to use Hothouse or English cucumbers because the seeds are edible and not as noticeable as others.
- CREAM CHEESE – The richness of the cream cheese balances the light cucumber.
- SOUR CREAM – This thins out the cream cheese a bit. You could use Greek yogurt as well.
- GARLIC POWDER – This adds a little flavor and a savory flair.
- FRESH DILL – Dill was meant to be with cucumber. It goes so well.
- SALT – If you ever think you’re missing something you usually haven’t seasoned with salt well.
- OPTIONAL – A sprinkle of diced tomatoes and crumbled feta.
Tomatoes and feta are polarizing but I love them on top of this snack.
ARE THESE KETO?
Yes! These are low-carb and Keto friendly.
