Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (1 ounce) packet Ranch dressing mix (see note 1)
- 1 loaf high-quality sandwich bread crusts removed, quartered (see note 2)
- 2 hot house cucumber thinly sliced (see note 3)
- fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and seasoning mix. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.
- To assemble, top each square of bread with cream cheese mixture and a cucumber slice.
Notes
- Ranch dressing mix: You can certainly buy a packet at the supermarket. To make homemade ranch dressing mix, whisk together 2 tbsp. powdered buttermilk, 2 1/2 tsp. dried parsley, 1 tsp. dried minced onion, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1/2 tsp. dill weed, and salt (I like 1/4 teaspoon).
- High-quality sandwich bread: You want something sturdy that can stand up to a schmear of cream cheese. A store-bought or homemade croissant, sliced in half, would also make an ideal vessel if you’re serving Cucumber Sandwiches as part of a brunch menu.
- Hot house cucumbers: Also labeled as “English cucumbers,” these have thinner skins, sweeter flesh, and less seeds than traditional cucumbers. If you can’t find the hot house variety, substitute for 2 to 3 regular cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced.
- Yield: This recipe makes enough appetizer-sized servings, five mini sandwiches each, to feed 16 people. Double or halve the recipe as appropriate for your crowd.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 1 day.
