Greek Salad Cucumber Bites (Recipe 49 of 150)

Every month our book club meets the book picker hosts the event. That person is responsible for the main part of the meal. The rest of us bring other parts of the meal: Salad, appetizer and dessert. For the April book I chose to bring the appetizer. 

We have a GF person in book club too and I try to make sure what I bring she can eat too. This seemed like the perfect appetizer. Then the GF person didn't make it so I changed it up a bit. 

I didn't put this on cucumbers. I had pita to dip. And I didn't put the red onion on it because one of the book clubbers doesn't do raw onions. 

This was a good recipe. The combination of cream cheese and hummus was really good together. Overall this I'd make again.

Serves 12

• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 large Hot House cucumber, sliced slightly on the diagonal
• 1/2 c prepared hummus
• 1/3 c chopped tomato
• 1/4 c chopped Kalamata olives
• 1/4 c crumbled feta cheese
• 2 T chopped green onions

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and garlic with a rubber spatula until smooth and well-combined.

Assemble the appetizers: Scoop a heaping teaspoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto a slice of cucumber and spread to the edges. Spoon a heaping teaspoonful of hummus on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle with tomato, olives, feta and green onion. Repeat with remaining cucumber slices and toppings. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and serve within a few hours.
