How to make easy cucumber appetizers
This is a quick and easy recipe that is ready in under 15 minutes. It's as simple as slicing a cucumber, making a filling and assembling the two!
I use an English cucumber as they are long and sturdy enough to make into a sandwich. I par peel the skin as I find it can be slightly tough at times. Other cucumbers could be used as long as you cut them into thick enough slices.
The Everything Bagel seasoning can be purchased or you can make your own. I find some brands are heavy on the salt so making your own means you can amend the flavours to your own taste.
Can you make these cucumber snacks keto vegan?
This cucumber appetizer recipe is a great one to make vegan. In place of the cream cheese, use a vegan version. There are a few vegan cream cheeses made with sunflower seeds that are low in carbs than those made with cashews. Alternatively, used almond butter for the filling.
