Perfect finger sandwiches - the first ones to go at any "tea" or luncheon. From Paula Deen I just tweak the Tabasco a bit...

Time 15m

Yield 18-22 finger sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large cucumber
1/4 medium onions (one piece of) or 1/4 medium onion (one piece of)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (lite is fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 drop green food coloring
mayonnaise
thin-sliced white bread (I just buy the store brand of thin-sliced bread)

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber, and remove the seeds.
  • Place in a food processor and pulse about 5-6 times until minced. (I use my Pampered Chef handy chopper, chopping a few pieces at a time - about 15 chops).
  • Transfer cucumber to a small mixing bowl.
  • Chop onion in chopper or food processor, until finely minced. Add to cucumber.
  • Add cream cheese, salt, food coloring and Tabasco, combining well.
  • With a biscuit cutter, cut rounds out of bread slices.
  • Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on bread rounds. Top with cucumber mixture, spreading to edges. Top with additional bread round.
  • Garnish with parsley or other herbs as desired.
