Description
Keto Cucumber Sandwiches are refreshing bites made with crisp cucumber rounds and a creamy filling, perfect for a low-carb snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 ounces smoked salmon or turkey slices (optional)
- Chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the cucumber into thick rounds, about 1/4-inch each, and place them on a clean surface.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until the mixture is creamy and well integrated.
- Take a cucumber round and generously dollop the cream cheese mixture onto it.
- If desired, layer a slice of smoked salmon or turkey on top of the cream cheese.
- Finish with another cucumber slice to create a delightful bite-sized sandwich.
- Continue this process until all the cucumber rounds are used.
- Arrange the finished bites on a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives for an added touch of freshness.
- Enjoy them right away, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- For an extra zing, mix in a dash of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeños into the cream cheese blend.
- Swap out the dill for fresh basil or parsley to explore new flavor combinations.
