Creamy Dill Cucumber Cups

These creamy dill cucumber cups are the perfect summer appetizer. They're light and refreshing, with a creamy dill filling that's bursting with flavor. They're also easy to make, and can be assembled in just a few minutes.

I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and refreshing summer appetizer. I had some cucumbers in the fridge, and I wanted to do something different with them. I started experimenting with different fillings, and I finally came up with this creamy dill filling. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour, and it's so refreshing. I've been making these cucumber cups ever since, and they're always a hit with my friends and family.
