  1. Our family has enjoyed a couple of variations of this delicious summer appitizer. It can be made with refrigerated Pillsbury French Bread Dough, baked according to directions, cooled completely,and sliced into 1/4 inch pieces. We have used dried dill weed to sprinkle on top instead of the paprika. I prefer the spread to be not so firm, so I add 2T of mayonnaise to the mixture. This makes it more like a dip consistency, but it is easier to spread over soft bread.
     
  2. Ditto to Sherry's comments, I too love this recipe, but I do prefer it with dill. The dill/cucumber combo is just right. A tiny splash of lemon juice doesn't hurt either.
     
  3. I have been making these for 10 years. They are easy to make, refreshing and always a big hit.
     
  4. Yep. This is my recipe I've been making for years. I've lost my family cookbook, so I had to find it and this is it. javascript:postComment();

Tweaks

  1. Very easy & yummy. I substituted an envelope of ranch dressing mix (not the dip mix) for the Italian dressing. For a Christmas party, I cut the cucumber into small triangles, placed three overlapping on each sandwich and sprinkled with dried dill and minced pimento. Using my mandoline made slicing the cucumbers go quickly. They looked like little Christmas trees. Everyone loved it.
