Feta cucumber boats

Combining crisp cucumbers with savory feta cheese, these bite-sized delights are easy to prepare and sure to impress your guests. The addition of dill and black pepper enhances the flavors, making this a deliciously satisfying recipe for any occasion.

Ingredients:

2 cucumbers
600g
2 oz feta cheese
54g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1 tsp dill
0.18g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g

Instructions:

2. Salt the Cucumbers: Lightly sprinkle the cucumber boats with 1/4 tsp of salt. This will help draw out excess moisture and add flavor to the cucumbers. Set the cucumbers aside.
3. Prepare the Feta Mixture: In a small bowl, crumble the 2 oz of feta cheese. Add 1 tsp of dill and 1/4 tsp of black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the dill and pepper are evenly distributed through the feta cheese.
4. Assemble the Boats: Once the cucumbers have rested for a few minutes and any excess moisture has been drawn out, pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Spoon the feta mixture into each cucumber boat, distributing it evenly among the 4 halves.
5. Serve: Arrange the filled cucumber boats on a serving platter. Optionally, you can garnish with an additional sprinkle of dill or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor and presentation.
6. Enjoy: Serve the feta cucumber boats immediately. They make a refreshing appetizer, snack, or light side dish, especially enjoyed during hot weather.

Tips:

- Use fresh cucumbers for the best crunch and flavor.

- Chill the cucumbers in the refrigerator before assembling to keep them cool and refreshing.

- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist.

- Garnish with extra dill or some chopped fresh parsley for added color and aesthetics.
