Cucumber Sandwiches- Recipe

Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients:
Low Fat Cream Cheese (1 package)
Dry Zesty Italian Dressing (1 packet)
Splash of 1% Milk (less than a Tablespoon)
Dill Seasoning 
Cucumbers
Pumpernickel Bread 

1. Set out cream cheese and do not use until it is at room temperature/or soften in the microwave.
2. Mix in dressing packet and milk and stir until well combined.*
3. Peel (if desired) cucumber(s) and slice thinly.
4. Trim the edges off each slice of bread and cut bread into small squares (just large enough to hold one cucumber slice).
5. Take a bread square and spread with cream cheese mixture, place cucumber slice on top 
6. Repeat step 5 until you run out of bread or cucumbers. 
7. Place neatly on a serving tray and sprinkle with dill seasoning. 

*Note: I made the spread the day before and refrigerated overnight and prepared the sandwiches the day of. This saved me some prep time while allowing me to still have the bread fresh and not soggy the day of the party.
