CUCUMBER-OLIVE APPETIZERS



Cucumber-Olive Appetizers image

If you wanted to go the extra step peel, finely chop or coarsely grate half a cucumber, hand squeeze out all the moisture then add in some to the cream cheese mixture --- these are easy to make and delicious, for some heat add in a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired --- if you are serving a large group of people I suggest to double the recipe, the bread slices may be lightly toasted if desired ---serving is only estimated.

CUCUMBER AND OLIVE APPETIZERS



Cucumber and Olive Appetizers image

I got this recipe from one of my cooking classes in college. It's the "old fashioned" type of appetizer, but one that makes a beautiful display on the plate and I never take any home with me because they disappear quickly.
