Cucumber Spread

Published by Sue Hertzler at 7:03 AM under Party Food | Recipes | Vegetables

This is a recipe I've used many times for wedding receptions or for parties. Cucumbers are in season this time of year and it makes a refreshing nibbler.

1 (8oz.) package cream cheese
1 large cucumber, shredded and drained extra well
(I spread it out on paper towels and squeeze the water out.)
2 teaspoons chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper

Mix well. Makes 1 3/4 cups.
Use a pastry bag with large star tip and squeeze a star of spread onto 1" rounds of bread or spread on crackers. One cup will make 50 open face bread rounds.
