THE BEST CUCUMBER SPREAD
That's the way the recipe was titled when I got it from a friend and I saw no reason to change the name. Summer is coming and this is the perfect snack for warm weather. I prefer baked wheat crackers as a base but I'm sure any other cracker or thinly sliced miniature bread loaf will work well too. Don't be put off by the initial steps; it's worth the effort! No cooking and prep time does not include a cool down in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.

Steps:
- Peel the cucumbers. Slice them in half lengthwise; remove the seeds with a spoon or melon baller. Grate the cucumber halves by hand or with a food processor.
- Here is the part that makes it work; squeeze the liquid out of the grated cucumbers by the handful, then place them on several layers of paper towels. Cover with additional layers and press down hard to squeeze out all the moisture. The rest is easy!
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or in the medium mixing bowl of an electric mixer), combine the cream cheese, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, garlic salt, chives, pepper and hot pepper sauce; process or mix until well blended.
- Carefully stir in the cucumbers. Add more mayonnaise if needed, to get a spreading consistency. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 7 to 10 days.

MS. JENNY BENEDICT'S FAMOUS CUCUMBER SPREAD
This cucumber finger sandwich filling was created by Jenny Benedict, a popular caterer in Louisville, KY way back when. Now, it is a Kentucky favorite and dang near a recipe you MUST have on the table for a Derby party. This is pretty for St. Patty's Day and is so much better than a plain ole cucumber slice on a piece of bread. Cook time is chill time.

THE BEST CUCUMBER SANDWICHES
The best flavors always seem so simple! Give these a try (I won't eat cucumbers any other way). A nice southern treat! Since the recipe is so easy good ingredients are key. Real or homemade mayo and good salt, seedless cukes.

Steps:
- Slice the cucumber as thin as you can (1/8" is good).

- Top with 3 or 4 shavings of onion.
- Sprinkle each sandwich with some salt (do not leave this out!).
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Thinly slice cucumbers. I use a mandoline for perfect thin cuts.
- Place cucumber in a large bowl adding salt through out the cucumbers.
- Place a plate over the cucumbers as to add weight ( i usually put my olive oil can on top of the plate for added pressure). This step is to withdraw as much extra water as possible. Cover for 1 hours.
- Mix vinegars, sugar and dill, taste, making adjustments for that tangy taste.
- Empty excess water from cucumbers and add shallots and vinegar dressing.
- Ideally let sit for another hour, but its hard to resist for that long.
