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.
