Cucumber Bites with Cream Cheese and Dill
This is a crunchy, and fairly light quick little appetizer, snack or side dish. A soft goat cheese would also be excellent on these little cucumber bites. Dill, cucumber and cream cheese are a classic combination. Smoked paprika helps add a warm savory note and coarse sea salt enhances all of the combined flavors.

I developed this recipe a number of years ago when I was looking for vegetable options for party finger foods and hors d’eurves. So many finger foods are heavy with lots of bread, cheese and meat. These are light and refreshing, and hold up well to sitting out. Nothing to wilt here. The citrus provides a sweet and tangy zing. The pomegranate seeds provide a tart burst. The celery and endive provide and nice crisp crunch. The cranberries provide a chewy sweetness. Finally the pistachios add a bit of umami and even more texture. Salad does not have to be boring and eaten with a fork.
