Main Ingredients
- 3 large cucumbers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons fresh minced chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced dill optional
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 16 slices pumpernickel or marble rye bread crusts removed
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!
