DIRECTIONS
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, scallion, parsley, chives, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Reserve a small amount of fresh dill for garnish. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Cover and chill the mixture for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on a crispbread cracker or rye bread (best if lightly toasted). Repeat until all of the cream cheese mixture has been used.
- Top with cucumber slices, and sprinkle with reserved fresh dill. Eat immediately!
- Variation: Instead of baby cucumbers, top the herbed cream cheese mixture with smoked salmon and red onions.
