The ingredients for Benedictine Sandwiches are:

1 medium cucumber
1 small onion
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tep salt
1/8 tsp tabasco
1 drop green food coloring (optional)
Mayonnaise
White bread - crust removed

Here is how you make Benedictine Sandwiches:

Peel the cucumber, slice it in half and remove the seeds. Put the cucumber in a food processor and pulse untill the cucumber is minced. Pour the minced cucumber and its liquid in a mixing bowl and set aside. Some recipes say to discard the liquid but I think this makes for a creamier spreadPeel the onion and cut into small churks. Place the onion pieces in the food processor and process till it is finely chopped. Pour the onion and its liquid into the bowl with the cucumber. Add the cream cheese, salt, Tabasco, and food coloring to the bowl with the cucumber and onion. Mix till well blended with a consistant color. The food coloring is an option but it really makes a colorful spread. For a special occasion you might consider using a different color.Trim the crust off the bread and spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each slice. Spread the cucumber mixture on half the slices of bread and top each with a second slice of bread. Cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BILLTMAN.
