cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches

[chrisie_20]

these are wonderfully refreshing. They are made up of exactly what they are said. You take a cucumber (I like to peel it) and slice it and then spread some cream cheese between two slices and make a "sandwich" out of it. You can add in some "meat" of you choice if you like. Like tuna or you can cut some lower carb deli meat into smaller squares and put on it. I actually like it just the cream cheese and the cucumbers because it is so refreshing. And it gives me a break from meat when I need it. I eat it as a snack or add a few olives and a couple cubes of cheese to my plate and make it a lunch....oh so yummy!

If you like cucumbers, check out this recipe I posted for cucumber salad. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=25058 I believe this is induction friendly (I leave out the sour cream to begin with), but with the vinegar it's not KISS friendly. I make this literally every Friday and it's nearly gone by Monday. Yum Yum!

BUMP!
I had a few friends over this evening and served these "sandwiches" as an appetizer. It was a big hit! I used smoked turkey lunch meat (which is just as good as those sugary ham lunch meats, minus the sugar). Very yum!

Mmmm Joe, I was thinking the same thing as i read the first post! Cucumber, smoked salmon, cream cheese, and a pinch of fresh dill!

Re: cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches

I made this snack for my husband (who laughs at my new diet) and myself the other day. We used slices of peeled cucumber, pinches of c.cheese topped w/ some smoked salmon. Then drizzle w/ ex. virgin olive oil, some salt and pepper to taste... and yuuuuuuuuuuummm.

Totally refreshing.
