Cucumber Bites - easy after school snack

The contrast of the cool, creamy filling with crisp fresh veggies yields a refreshing texture and flavor. This snack is simple to prepare and encourages vegetable consumption with appealing presentation suitable for children. It fits well as a light snack or party appetizer.
