Ingredients
Instructions
-
Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 225° F.
Â
-
Place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle each one with olive oil and season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Slow-roast the tomato halves in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow them to come to room temperature.
Â
-
Cheese Mixture
Combine the vegan cream cheese, mayo, lemon, and garlic in a food processor, pulsing until well combined and creamy. Place the mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and set aside.
-
Peel the chilled cucumbers, not all the way, but in alternating slices lengthwise to create a green-and-white striped effect. Then, cut each cucumber into 1-inch rounds — or 12 pieces for a total of 24.
Â
-
Assemble
Place the cucumber rounds onto a serving platter and dab each with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to remove any moisture.
Â
-
Pipe approximately one tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice, then top with one tomato half and garnish with fresh herbs.Â
Using a mixture of fresh herbs is a great way to add variety.Â

This recipe is best if made on the day you plan to serve it.Â
