CUCUMBER CANAPES

Steps:

• Mix together whipped cream cheese and Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix until well blended.
• Spread mixture onto each piece of cocktail rye bread. (adjust the amount of mixture you spread on to your liking. I like the flavor of the mixture so I do put it on a little thicker).
• Then add cucumber slice to the top of each bread. (make sure the cucumber is a bit dry so it won't drip through and moisten the bread).
• Sprinkle dill on top of each cucumber. (It's fine without dill if you don't like the flavor).
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Note:
• If making ahead, wait to put the cucumbers on. If they set on the bread overnight, it could possibly make the bread a little soggy).
