Notes
- Slice the cucumber thinly and evenly. You can do this quickly with a mandoline.
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you want to use it. This will help to soften it so that it's easier to mix.
- I like to mix the cream cheese with a hand mixer to get it nice and smooth and light. You can do it by hand, but make sure that everything is really well combined.
