Cucumber Sandwiches

Mmmm yum! I love these sandwiches! Quick, easy, and can be made the night before . My mom got this recipe from my god-mother and used to make these as hors d' oeuvres for company on little rye breads, but I prefer a regular sized sandwich for lunchtime.

What to use:

1/3 Less fat cream cheese (also called Neufchâtel cheese)
Packet of Italian dressing seasoning mix
Dried dill
Dried celery seeds
Cucumber
Bread slices of your choice (I had whole wheat)

What to do:
1. Peel and slice the cucumber-about 1/2 fits nicely on regular sandwich bread.

2. In a bowl, spoon in some cream cheese, however much you feel should cover your sandwich-I used about 2-3 tablespoons. Add a few shakes of the dill and celery seed, and about a dime sized amount of Italian seasoning mix (for this amount of cream cheese). Mix it well to combine. Here you need to taste it to see if it needs more of something. If you feel you put too much seasoning, add more cream cheese.

3. Next, spread the cream cheese mixture on both sides of the bread, so that the cucumbers have something to hold on to. Lay the cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese filling up each side. Then sprinkle more dill all over the two sides.

4. Put one slice on top of the other and cut in half to enjoy! If you are making this the night before, wrap in plastic or foil and refrigerate.
