The holidays are here and that means it is party time! If you are hosting a holiday party or attending one and need to take a dish to share, we have the perfect recipe for you today-Cucumber Canapés with Whipped Feta, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Basil.
I love these Cucumber Canapés because they are easy to make and so festive! You can't go wrong with green and red during the holidays!
To make the whipped feta, I used my KitchenAid Pro Line 16-Cup Food Processor. I added feta cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. With the food processor running, I slowly added olive oil.
The end result? Creamy and dreamy whipped feta!
The KitchenAid Pro Line 16-Cup Food Processor also dices and slices. That's right, you can use the food processor to slice the cucumbers too!
I topped each cucumber slice with whipped feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. I like to use DeLallo's Semi-Dried Cherry Tomatoes. They are SO good, better than candy, and they add the perfect pop of red!
