Cucumber with herb cream cheese and tomato appetizers: Fresh, creamy, and very suitable to make for big groups, like at a potluck party. An airy appetizer whereas the cream cheese, give the cucumber just a bit of spice and the tomato a great color effect (and taste)
Last Saturday I had a party and we all had to bring a little appetizer. That's something I love to do and I was really excited about it. There are only a few but's.
Since it is on location, I do not want to depend on the equipment of the host. The oven therefore can't be used. I also didn't want to use the stove, because you withdraw yourself from the party for some time and that's just not what you want at that moment.
Because it will stand on the table for some time, I think raw fish and meat also are not so convenient. So after some thought and weigh all the options, I came up with this idea: cucumber rounds with homemade herb cream cheese, and tomato. And it was a success: the plate was empty home.
