Directions
Benedictine Tea Sandwiches, Cool, light, refreshing taste treat for hot summer days The combination of cucumber, cream cheese and dill is to die for! Adjust amount of onion to personal taste I tasted this when the wife of an associate made them years ago I muddled around until I came up with this recipe which is as close as I could get to the original The recipe originated in Kentucky, I believe , OMG! These are delish! I made them for a red hat function and they inhaled them! I loved the flavor combination with the dill & garlic I added a little extra garlic (I’m a garlic lover), but followed the recipe other than that You really need to squeeze as much moisture out of the cucumbers as you can Grating them makes them extra watery and you need to get out the water so you don’t have runny sandwiches I’ve added these to my favorites Thanks!, Cool, light, refreshing taste treat for hot summer days The combination of cucumber, cream cheese and dill is to die for!
