Fancy Cucumber Sandwiches
2 medium size cucumbers
1 tub whipped cream cheese spread
shaker of dill weed
1-2 packets of dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg rye or wheat cocktail bread
Wash cucumbers well. Using a fork, scrape down the cucumbers lengthwise
leaving "stripes" all the way around. Slice the cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices
or thinner. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and
dressing mix; combine well. Using a butter knife, spread the mixture onto the
individual slices of small cocktail bread (cocktail bread might be found in
your deli section rather than the bread aisle, it's just a small and dense
miniature version of bread). Don't cake the slices with the mixture, just a
thin layer concentrated in the middle of the slice. Next, lay one slice of
cucumber (per slice of bread) in the middle of the bread. Once done, shake a
small amount of the dill weed onto the cucumber slice. Remember that dill is
strong and a little goes a long way. Just one or two taps of your finger on the
shaker should do it per slice. The ruffling of the cucumber slices with the
fork and the dill garnish really dress up this open faced
appetizer. I always get raves about this at parties and requests for it at
potlucks. Just remember to cover them tightly because the bread will dry and
the cucumbers will get wilted if left out too long. It's a good idea to do some
preparation work the night before, but leave the slicing of the cucumbers and
the assembly of the sandwiches for the last minute.
