Ingredients

• 1 English cucumber

• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the English cucumber. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, fresh dill, fresh parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Transfer 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 4

Pipe a dollop of the herbed mixture onto each cucumber slice, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing presentation.

Step 5

Sprinkle the canapes with chopped chives for garnish.

Step 6

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance.
