- 1 1/2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
- Slice the cucumber: Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, carefully slice the cucumber into 1/8-inch thick rounds to ensure thin, even pieces that will mix well with the other ingredients.

Notes
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the cucumber slices.
- You can substitute whipped cream cheese with regular cream cheese softened for ease of mixing.
- Adjust everything bagel seasoning to taste depending on your desired savory intensity.
- For added texture and freshness, consider adding chopped fresh chives or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Leftovers should be refrigerated and consumed within 1-2 days to avoid sogginess.
