Cucumber slices are topped with a basil cream cheese spread and topped with a slice of sun-dried tomato in these tasty cucumber bites. A great low carb appetiser or snack that is also gluten free.

These cucumber bites are quick to assemble and are a colourful addition to any party or holiday table. The fresh green with a dash of red will draw you to their plate! The fresh basil pairs well with the fresh taste of cucumber along with the classic flavour combination of cream cheese and cucumber.

If you wanted a dairy free cucumber basil bite, replace the cream cheese with avocado. The bright green colour of the avocado would look great too. Add a touch of lime to the mixture to stop any discoloration though.
