Spreads and Fillings

Cucumber Spread

I can truly say that this sandwich spread is refreshing. It makes the most wonderful tea

sandwiches for a luncheon or shower. My recipe used to call for seedless cucumbers but I

don't grow those, so I quarter regular cucumbers and use a spoon to remove the seeds.

Ingredients

• 1 cup grated cucumber (about 2 to 3 regular)

• 3 oz pkg cream cheese

• 1 Tbsp mayonnaise

• ¼ tsp each sea salt and black pepper

• 1 tsp finely minced red onion

• 1 tsp chopped dill

Instructions

1. Peel and quarter the cucumbers; remove seeds. Grate onto a clean dish towel pla ced in a colander.

Let sit in colander for 10 minutes; twist several times to remove as much liquid as possible.

2. While cucumber is draining, in a small bowl mix the cream cheese, mayo, salt and pepper.

3. Add the cucumber, onion and dill to the cream cheese mixture; thoroughly mix; refrigerate in a

container with a tight-fitting lid.
