Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • Sandwich Spread/Dip:

  • 1 small red onion, very thin sliced
  • Filling:
  • 1 medium-large cucumber (approximately 1 1/4 cups), peeled, lightly seeded and fine chopped
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons black olives, halved
  • 1 scallion, diced fine (white and green parts)
  • 4 ounces Neufachetel cheese (low fat cream cheese)
  • 4 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Sandwich ... Now, as I said, I love to serve this in a spinach wrap - my favorite; but pita bread, even a good artisian bread; or for appetizers ... use your favorite crackers or those 'cute' party breads. It really depends on how you like to serve this. It is a very versatile recipe.

  • Step 2: Cucumber ... This recipe is very forgiving. So, you can add a bit more or less cucumber if you want. Once you peel, seeded, and chop the cucumber, add do a plate lined with a paper towel to lightly drain and dry. Just 5 minutes is all it takes.

  • Step 3: Spread ... Add the olives, cream cheese, yogurt, mint, chives, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and mix well. Then add in the cucumber and toss to combine.

  • Step 4: Sandwich or Dip ... As an appetizer - simple transfer to a serving bowl and serve with your favorite crackers; or spread on small party breads and cut in half to serve as finger food. For my favorite way to serve this - spread on a spinach tortilla wrap and top with spinach leaves and red onion. Roll up and cut in half. I like to microwave the wrap 5-10 seconds on medium heat to warm up so it is plyable. If you don't want to use a wrap, pita bread, or a good artisian style bread works just as well. ENJOY!
