Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients:

2 medium cucumbers
1 tub whipped cream cheese spread
shaker of dill weed
1-2 packets dry Italian dressing mix
1 package rye or wheat cocktail bread

1. Thoroughly wash the cucumbers. Using a fork or a peeler, scrape them lengthwise, leaving "stripes" the length of the cucumber. Next, slice the cucumbers into 1/4" (or thinner) slices and set aside (figure A).

2. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, dill and dressing mix (figure B).

3. Using a butter knife, spread the mixture on small slices of cocktail bread (figure C).

4. Lay one slice of cucumber in the middle of each slice of bread; shake a small amount of the dill weed onto the cucumber slice (figure D). Sandwich the cucumber with an additional piece of bread, if desired, or leave it open-faced.
