fairly bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed this recipe and found the results to be very bland. I added several dashes of the tobasco, some freshly ground... black pepper, 1/2 of a preserved lemon diced and about a tablespoon of chopped dill. It tasted better at that point, but it still was a little lack-luster. I made it the night before. When I made the sandwiches, I spread both slices of bread with this spread and then added sliced cucumber and watercress leaves and then put the two pieces of bread together (sandwiching the cucumber and watercress in the middle).Read more

Nice!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for a brunch and they were a big hit. Be sure to drain the cucumber and onion (I wouldn't have known to do this... without reading the reviews). I had some of the mixture left over and it was a great dip with crackers as well. Read more

They were a hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were, far and away, the most popular item I prepared for Lady's Night. I was half afraid that the onion would... overpower everything, but the cucumber and cream cheese balanced it out perfectly. Thanks so much for a raging success!Read more

Refreshing little sandwiches
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these sandwiches for a Bridal Shower and everyone loved them. I let the cucumbers and onions drain(lots of water in... them) for an hour before I mixed them with the cream cheese. I also added a little fresh dill to the mixture. They were quite refreshing for a summer shower and quite pretty on a serving tray. I will make them again.Read more
