CREAMED CUCUMBER DELIGHT

Steps:

• Peel and slice cucumber and onions thinly. The best results are even slices. I use a mandolin for this step.
• Place sliced cucumber and onions in a medium bowl that has a lid.
• In a small bowl mix together the Miracle Whip, sugar, vinegar. Add salt and pepper if using. Pour over top of the cucumbers/onions. Place the lid on the bowl and give it a shake or two.
• Marinate 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Do not add more liquid. Juice will keep for a long time. Just keep adding onions and cucumber as they get low until you no longer get the wonderful flavor on the cucumbers. Then it is time for a new batch.

CREAMED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers and green onions in a large bowl. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Combine all remaining ingredients; pour over cucumber mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for several hours.

MORGAN'S INCREDIBLE CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Place cucumbers in a colandar (over a bowl) and sprinkle with the salt. (Don't be scared of the amount of salt, it really doesn't make the cucumbers salty). It will help draw the water out and make your end result less watery. Let that sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
• Meanwhile, dice the onions very fine.
• After the cucumbers are drained, place them in a large bowl. Add the onions. Pour the vinegar over this mixture, then add the sugar. Let it sit for another hour in the fridge. After this, you will want to taste it to make sure it's not too tangy or too sweet. You'll want a perfect blend of both flavors, combined with the saltiness that's already there.
• After you're happy with that result, add the rest of the ingredients, ending with the cheese.
• Adjust all seasonings to taste!
• Chill for one hour before serving.
• Some things to note:.
• * I wouldn't add more salt to this salad other than what you salted the cucumbers with in the beginning. The parmesan adds a bit of saltiness anyway.
• * You can cut back on the onion if 1 cup seems too much, but I will tell you that once the other flavors are combined, you will NOT taste any overpowering onion flavor. It's just perfect!
• * Try to use Kosher salt for this as well as the Tarragon vinegar. I think the Tarragon flavor is a must for this salad.
• * Personally, I've been known to drain the cucumbers over night, and add all of the other ingredients the next day. But that's just me. :-).
• * Actually, I add a bit more of the garlic powder, onion, powder, and pepper. I play around with the dill measurement as well. ADJUST TO YOUR LIKING.
• * The "cooking" time is actually the waiting/draining time.
• * I promise this is worth it! :-) ENJOY!

CREAMED CUCUMBER SLICES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Place cucumber slices in the bowl, and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Chill 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

CUCUMBER DELIGHTS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch dressing mix packet. Stir until well-blended.
• Slice cucumbers into relatively thin slices (I cut mine to approximately 1/4").
• Slice baguette into medium slices (mine were about 1/2"). For a "daintier" sandwich, trim off crusts.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread. (I prefer a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture!).
• Place 4-5 cucumber slices on top of cream cheese.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto a second piece of bread and place the bread on top of the cucumbers, cream cheese side down.
• Repeat!
• NOTE: I recently made this recipe for a bridal shower bruch I hosted. I knew the morning of the shower would be crazy, so I sliced the cucumbers and mixed up the cream cheese spread the night before. It tasted great and made things so much easier on the morning of the shower!
