MS. JENNY BENEDICT'S FAMOUS CUCUMBER SPREAD



Ms. Jenny Benedict's Famous Cucumber Spread image

This cucumber finger sandwich filling was created by Jenny Benedict, a popular caterer in Louisville, KY way back when. Now, it is a Kentucky favorite and dang near a recipe you MUST have on the table for a Derby party. This is pretty for St. Patty's Day and is so much better than a plain ole cucumber slice on a piece of bread. Cook time is chill time.

THE BEST CUCUMBER SPREAD



The Best Cucumber Spread image

That's the way the recipe was titled when I got it from a friend and I saw no reason to change the name. Summer is coming and this is the perfect snack for warm weather. I prefer baked wheat crackers as a base but I'm sure any other cracker or thinly sliced miniature bread loaf will work well too. Don't be put off by the initial steps; it's worth the effort! No cooking and prep time does not include a cool down in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.

Categories     Spreads

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium cucumbers
11 ounces cream cheese (one 8 oz. and one 3 oz. package)
3 green onions, finely chopped with greens
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon pepper (seasoned is fine)
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
cracker (or miniature bread loaf sliced)

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers. Slice them in half lengthwise; remove the seeds with a spoon or melon baller. Grate the cucumber halves by hand or with a food processor.
  • Here is the part that makes it work; squeeze the liquid out of the grated cucumbers by the handful, then place them on several layers of paper towels. Cover with additional layers and press down hard to squeeze out all the moisture. The rest is easy!
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or in the medium mixing bowl of an electric mixer), combine the cream cheese, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, garlic salt, chives, pepper and hot pepper sauce; process or mix until well blended.
  • Carefully stir in the cucumbers. Add more mayonnaise if needed, to get a spreading consistency. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
  • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 7 to 10 days.

BEST BENEDICTINE SPREAD



Best Benedictine Spread image

This Louisville staple is an easy and refreshing cucumber spread or dip and can be served with almost anything you could imagine. Dipping club crackers or pita and French bread toast points are favorites, but carrot sticks and pretzels are great too. We use it for cucumber sandwiches, spread it onto our BLTs, and use it as a sauce on poached salmon. You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it to firm up and let the flavors meld.

Time 10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 English cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons minced white onion
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon dried dill
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
1 drop green food coloring, or as needed
cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Process cucumber chunks in a food processor until finely chopped. Put chopped cucumber and white onion in a piece of cheesecloth and twist to squeeze into a bowl as much liquid as possible from the vegetables, reserving the liquid.
  • Assure the food processor bowl is dry before returning cucumber and onion mixture to the food processor. Add cream cheese, dill, hot pepper sauce, green food coloring, and cayenne pepper. Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl a few times to make sure everything is integrated. If too thick, add reserved liquid a teaspoon at a time.

EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES



Easy Cucumber Party Sandwiches image

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.
