Ingredients
  • 2 English Cucumberrs
  • 12 cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large garlic clove (minced)
  • Choice of fresh herbs (thyme, basil, dill, parsley, terragon)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 225° F.

     

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Slow-roast the tomato halves in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow them to come to room temperature.

     

  4. 4
    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.

  5. 5

    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.

     

  6. 6
    Assemble

    Place the cucumber rounds onto a serving platter and dab each with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to remove any moisture.

     

  7. 7

    Pipe approximately one tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice, then top with one tomato half and garnish with fresh herbs. 

    Using a mixture of fresh herbs is a great way to add variety.
