Instructions
Peel and slice cucumbers to 3/4 thick.

Mix the cream cheese, mayo, dill weed, hidden valley ranch mix, and salt in a small bowl.
Fill a pastry bag that has a small rosette pipette end with the cream cheese. Or use a quart-sized plastic bag and snip off a small portion of the corner to make a piping bag.
Pipe the hollowed cucumber slices with cream cheese to 1/2 inch above the cucumber.
Stand a halved grape tomato in the cream cheese.
Sprinkle with chives, or fresh dill weed for a garnish.
