COOL AS A CUCUMBER! CHEESE, CUCUMBER AND CHIVE SANDWICH SPREAD



Cool As a Cucumber! Cheese, Cucumber and Chive Sandwich Spread image

A must for cool people - or those who like cucumbers! This is a very versatile sandwich spread or dip, which is so easy to whip up at the last minute; it makes VERY elegant sandwiches and is a wonderful accompaniment for smoked salmon, prawns (shrimp) or tuna. I have also used it to spread on savoury scones and crackers. If you plan to make this a day before you need to use it, you might like to salt the cucumbers first - as they do release water into the spread.
