Ingredients
- 1/2 English cucumber the kind wrapped in plastic at the grocery store
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 green onion tops thinly sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 8 slices white bread
Instructions
- Wash the outside of the cucumber well. With a box grater, shred about half of the cucumber, skin and all. Place on a layer of paper towels, cover with another paper towel and twist to remove any excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl mix the cucumber, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onion tops, and salt. Stir well.
- Allow mixture to sit, covered, in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight for flavors to develop.
- When you are ready to assemble, cut circles of white bread using a 2" cutter, leaving off the crusts. If you don't have a cutter, an empty prescription bottle is good for cutting circles or you can use a small drinking glass.
- Add about a teaspoon of the cucumber mixture to the top of each circle of bread and garnish with very thin slices of cucumber, or a sprinkle of paprika for color. Serve immediately so the bread doesn't get soggy.
Notes
Needs an hour to chill in the fridge before assembling sandwiches.
