Cucumber Delights Recipes

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.

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!
