Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

4 oz cream cheese, softened (preferably at room temperature)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat for creaminess)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried dill

1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt. Slice the cucumber into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a clean surface or plate.

    In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a whisk or fork to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      To the creamy base, add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all the spices are evenly blended into the cream cheese mixture.

        Take the sliced cucumber rounds and place them neatly on a clean serving platter, ensuring they are spaced apart for easy access.

          Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a round tip, generously dollop or pipe the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice, creating a delightful mound that showcases the creamy topping.

            Lightly sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese topping on each cucumber bite, ensuring each one is coated for a burst of flavor.

              For a touch of freshness and color, garnish each bite with finely chopped fresh chives, adding a beautiful pop of green.

                Serve these refreshing bites immediately for the best flavor and texture, or refrigerate for up to one hour if you prefer a chilled treat.
