3-Ingredient Creamy Cucumber Bites are the ultimate refreshing, no-cook snack that looks impressive but comes together in minutes! With just three simple ingredients—crunchy cucumber, creamy herbed cheese, and juicy cherry tomato slices—these are an easy win for summer entertaining, healthy snacking, or last-minute guests. Better yet, they’re low-carb, naturally gluten-free, and visually stunning on any platter.
Each bite is layered with cool cucumber rounds, a swirl of tangy cream cheese, and a vibrant tomato slice, all sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. They’re elegant enough for a party, yet simple enough for everyday snacking.
And here’s a fun fact—while we think of cucumbers as veggies, they’re actually fruits, just like tomatoes! Which makes these technically fruit-topped bites. Either way, these creamy, crisp, and colorful bites are sure to steal the show.
Make a batch of 3-Ingredient Creamy Cucumber Bites today—and watch them disappear faster than you can say “refreshing.”
Recipe Yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 large English cucumber
5 oz herbed cream cheese (like Boursin or whipped garden veggie)
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Slice the cucumber:
Wash the cucumber and slice it into 12 thick rounds, about ¾-inch each. You want them sturdy enough to hold the topping without tipping over.
2. Top with cream cheese:
Using a small spoon or piping bag, add about 1 teaspoon of herbed cream cheese on top of each cucumber round. Smooth or swirl as desired.
3. Finish with cherry tomatoes:
Place a halved cherry tomato, cut side up, on top of the cream cheese. Gently press to secure. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional). Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use English Cucumbers: Their thin skin and minimal seeds create a more delicate, flavorful base without extra wateriness.
- Pipe the Cream Cheese: For an elegant look, pipe using a star tip or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. It’s quick and photo-friendly!
- Make Ahead Friendly: Assemble just before serving, or prep the components a few hours ahead and chill separately for fresh bites every time.
