Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers. For this recipe, it's best to use English or Persian cucumbers. They're long, slender, and have a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like dill, chives, and parsley add a pop of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
Don't overcook the bacon. Bacon is best when it's crispy, but not overcooked. Cook it over medium heat until it's golden brown and slightly crispy.
Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will help you cut the cucumbers and ham into thin, even slices. This will make them easier to eat.
Chill the cucumbers before serving. Chilling the cucumbers before serving will help them stay crisp and refreshing.

Ham and cheese cucumber snackers are a quick and easy appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. They're made with fresh cucumbers, ham, cheese, and a creamy dill sauce. These snackers are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
