Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust for heat preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop a small cavity in the center of each cucumber slice to hold the filling. Set aside.

    Make the Spicy Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until fully combined and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Assemble the Bites: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cucumber round with the spicy cream cheese mixture. Top each filled cucumber bite with a halved cherry tomato, pressing gently to secure.

        Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes on top for an extra spicy kick. Arrange the bites on a serving platter.

          Chill (optional): For best flavor, refrigerate the assembled bites for about 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

            Enjoy these refreshingly spicy tomato cucumber bites as a delightful appetizer or a fun party snack!
