Cucumber & Dill Canapes

This is one of my favorite spring & summer time appetizers.  It's light & refreshing, perfect when the weather is heating up. It's easy to make & always a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

1-2 Cucumbers

1 French Baguette

1- 8 oz brick of Cream Cheese, softened

2 tbsp Mayonnaise

1- 0.7 oz envelope dried Italian Salad Dressing Mix

Minced Fresh or dried Dill, for garnish

Directions:

Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried Italian Seasoning in a medium bowl.  

This is the Italian Seasoning that I use, you can find it in any grocery store in the salad dressing isle.  

Slice the cucumber about 1/4-1/2" thick.  You can leave the cucumbers unpeeled or peel them if you'd like, but I like to peel strips leaving parts of the peel on.

 I use a French baguette but you could really use any kind of bread that you'd like!

 Slice the baguette into 1/2-3/4" slices.

 To assemble the canapes, spread the cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread.  Place a slice of cucumber on the spread & top with dill.  Don't leave off the Dill- it is a must!!  Serve immediately.

 Enjoy!!
