Description
Crisp English cucumber rounds topped with a zesty, creamy whipped feta and fresh dill spread. An easy, refreshing appetizer ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, fresh dill, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to break down the cheese.
- While the processor is running, slowly pour the olive oil in a steady stream. Continue blending for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and completely smooth.
- Slice the English cucumbers into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them on a platter.
- Spoon or pipe a dollop of the whipped feta mixture onto each cucumber slice. Top with a small piece of fresh dill and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure ingredients like the cucumber are chilled before assembly for the best texture. You can make the whipped feta up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge.
