- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumber. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut it into 12 even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Lay the slices flat on a serving tray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill, parsley, and chives, and stir them into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 5
Spoon the herbed cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Step 6
Pipe a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Step 7
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place one half on top of the cream cheese dollop on each cucumber slice.
Step 8
Top each canapé with a small parsley leaf as a garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These are best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparing.
