Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large cucumbers
16 - cherry tomatoes
1 - 8 oz. package(s) cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup(s) red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder with parsley
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

Steps:

Peel strips from cucumbers to create decorative edges if desired; cut into 1/2" slices. Finely chop two slices; set aside. With a small spoon, scoop some of the seeds from the remaining slices.
Cut a thin slice from the bottoms of tomatoes to allow them to rest flat. Cut a thin slice from tops of tomatoes; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4" shell. Invert onto paper towels to drain.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, red pepper, celery, onion, carrot, seasonings & chopped cucumber.
Fill tomatoes & cucumber slices with cream cheese mixture, about 1 teaspoon in each. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
