Preparation Steps

  • Peel the cucumbers, and remove the center seeds (you can scoop them out with a spoon). Grate the cucumbers, using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze the grated cucumber well with cheesecloth, or a tea towel, to remove any excess liquid from the cucumbers.
  • In a large bowl, combine the grated cucumber, cream cheese, chives, dill, and ranch seasoning. Beat well until combined, by hand or with a hand mixer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the bread slices on a cutting board in pairs of two, side by side. Gently and evenly spread the cucumber mixture over half of the bread slices. Top with the other slice to make a sandwich, and cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles. Serve immediately!
