SUYL- Favorite Appetizer

Today I'm going to participate in Kelly's Korner's Show Us Your Life Series and the theme is favorite appetizers. I really love making Buffalo Chicken Dip, but I'm sure many people will use that tasty treat for the series. So- to be original we will do Cucumber Toasties. They are so good- and a hit every time we have them. They're refreshing- and just so good!

Here's a pic when we served them at Quinlin's birthday party:


Creamy Dill Cucumber Toasties

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

• 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch thick circles

• 1 cucumber, sliced

• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, dressing mix and mayonnaise.

2. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread, and top with a slice of cucumber. Sprinkle with dill. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

I tend to start with a half of the Italian dry seasoning mix and add more to taste. Sometimes it can taste too salty if I use the whole thing.

more images from all recipes of the treat... so good. It makes me want to make them now. Enjoy!

    Growing up, my mom would make cucumber sandwiches that were VERY similar to that. She used a rye deli bread instead of French bread, and spread mayo the bread instead of the mayo/cream cheese. I loved those, and this recipe looks great, too!
