Cream Cheese ‘n Herb Cucumber Bites

These appetizers are ridiculously simple and cucumbers always taste good to me. You can slice them either into donut circles or semi-circles as the pictures show.

Prep Time: 10 min

Total Time: 10 min

Makes: 12 servings (2 slices each)

Ingredients:

1 carrot, shredded (about 1/2 cup), divided

1/2 cup Chive & Onion Cream Cheese

2 cucumbers, cut lengthwise in half, peeled and seeded

Directions:

PEEL then cut each cucumber in half lengthwise then cut each half into 6 pieces to serve.

USE melon baller to scoop out indentation in center of each.

FILL with cream cheese spread; top with salmon and dill.

SHRED carrot and reserve 2 TBSP. Mix remaining carrots with cream cheese; spoon into cucumber shells. Top with reserved carrots.

Gina's Tips: Let the kids make cucumber "boats". Just fill the cucumber shells with the cream cheese mixture as directed. Then, add snow peas for the sails. Decorate with other cut-up fresh vegetables as desired to resemble colorful sailboats.

Variations: Top with 1 oz crab meat, shrimp, or smoked salmon, thinly sliced, cut into 12 pieces. Top with olives or slices of red pepper. Drizzle with 1 TBSP KRAFT Roasted Red Pepper Italian with Parmesan Dressing.
