Keto Kids' Cheesy Cucumbers and Sour Cream Ranch Dip

Are your kids' picky eaters that struggle to eat their vegetables? This Keto snack recipe is an excellent way to get them to eat cucumbers. A cookie-cutter is used to punch a design into the center of thick slices of cucumber, and then each slice is filled with cheese. These are super simple and easy to make. Kids will love helping you make these. Feel free to use any slice of cheese that is your kids’ favorite.

How thick should the cucumber slices be?

They should be sliced about ¼” to ⅓” thick. The thickness of the cucumber will help to hold the cheese slice on the inside.

What kind of sliced cheese should I use?

Feel free to use any sliced cheese. Some examples of sliced cheese are cheddar, provolone, Swiss, muenster, Colby Jack, and more.

What can I serve with this?

Feel free to serve these Keto Kids’ Cheesy Cucumbers with other Low Carb kid-friendly options like hard-boiled eggs, lunchmeat, cheese sticks, or grilled chicken thighs.

Step 1

Wash and dry cucumber. Trim the ends of the cucumber with a sharp knife. Feel free to peel the skin from the cucumber, if desired, but it can be left intact. Then cut the cucumber into ¼” slices. Take each slice of a cucumber and cut out the center of it using a small cookie cutter. Be sure the cookie cutter fits right in the center of the cucumber slice so as to not break the edges. Use the same cookie-cutter shape to cut shapes from the two slices of cheese. The cut cheese shapes should fit perfectly inside the cucumbers. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Step 2

Mix the remaining ingredients together to make the sour cream ranch dip. Serve the filled cucumber slices with the ranch dip.
