INGREDIENTS
- English cucumber
- Cottage cheese

INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the cucumber and slice it into rounds, each about 1/2 inch thick.
Gently pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Using a small spoon or your fingers, create a small indentation in the center of each cucumber slice to hold the cottage cheese.
Spoon a small amount of cottage cheese into each indentation, filling it just enough to stay within the cucumber slice.
Season the cottage cheese with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish each cucumber and cottage cheese bite with fresh dill or your choice of herbs for added flavor and visual appeal.
Arrange the cucumber and cottage cheese bites on a serving platter and serve immediately.

TIPS
Customize the flavors by adding a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings, such as dried herbs, garlic powder, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
If you prefer a sweeter twist, you can use small melon balls or small pieces of fruit instead of cottage cheese.
