Benedictine Cheese Spread

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I whipped this up to make a sandwich filling for a pita for lunch today. I didn't bother with the food coloring since I didn't care if it was "pretty" or not. I halved this recipe, finely chopped the cucumbers and used about 1/3 of a small grated onion. I'll probably use significantly less onion next time because the onion was very overwhelming for me. Nonetheless, this was a very tasty, easy sandwich filling and I can easily see myself using this as a dip for crackers. Thanks for posting!

I forgot to press out the juice in the cukes, so the consistency was not as thick as it should have been, but that did not affect the taste used light cream cheese and regular mayo, following the rest of the recipe as directed DH and I had some with Ritz sticks and today, I had it over sliced tomatoes for lunch It would make a great low fat recipe, using light mayo and light cream cheese I also intend to try it on gyro burgers! Thanks MelodyH!
