- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill sub 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Instructions

- In a blender, combine the feta cheese, yogurt, garlic, and dill. Blend until smooth, adding a dash of water as needed to promote blending. Pour the whipped feta into a plastic bag. Seal the bag and use scissors to cut off a small piece from one of the bag's bottom corners. This will create a makeshift piping bag. Squeeze a small amount of the whipped feta onto each cucumber slice.

Notes
- You can prep these up to 3 hours in advance. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you plan to serve them.
