Ingredients

8 ounce cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, cilantro, parsley, and/or basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
3-5 cucumbers, preferably english or persian, sliced
1 loaf french bread, sliced

Directions

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until combined. (An electric mixer will create a light, fluffy dip, and mixing by hand will create a denser mixture, but both are delicious.)
Use flower-shaped cookie cutters (or other fun shape) to cut the cucumber slices. Spread the herbed cream cheese on the bread and top with the cucumber slices.
