These cucumber boats with the creamy, garlicky carrot filling are a tasty snack during the hot summer months. It is also perfect for an evening with friends or as a quick finger food. The combination of juicy cucumbers, creamy cream cheese and crunchy carrots tastes simply delicious. The recipe is super easy and can be thrown together in a jiffy.

- Wash, peel and coarsely grate the carrot. Peel the garlic and press it through a press. Wash dill, shake dry and chop finely.
- Mix the grated carrots, garlic, dill and cream cheese in a bowl. Season the filling with salt.
- Wash the cucumbers, dry and cut them in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Spoon the carrot filling into the cucumber boats.
- Arrange them on a serving platter with a few cherry tomatoes aside if using. Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over and serve as a snack or appetiser.

Hi Angie, it's Bernadette. Thanks for the crunchy and cool summer appetizer recipe.
I love carrots, I will often grate some carrots or beet into my morning tomato salad with scallions, Himalaya salt and soy oil.
What a great idea for a light summer bite! Sounds wonderful and so different from the usual!

Hello Angie,
The cucumber boats look delicious, a nice snack. Thanks for sharing. Take care, have a great weekend.
This looks wonderful, a perfect and delicious hors d’œuvres for summer cocktails on the deck. At first, I thought you had put remoulade into the cucumber boats but I love the carrots, so pretty. And the mini cucs are perfect for this!
