Benedictine

2 cucumbers, peeled
1 md. onion
1 lb. cream cheese
2 to 3 drops green food coloring

Directions:

Grate cucumber and onion (may use food processor) and drain well in a strainer, pressing down with spoon to remove all liquid. Discard liquid. Add drained cucumbers and onion to cream cheese and mix well in food processor. Color with 2 to 3 drops green food coloring.

Use as a sandwich spread or as a dip. Benedictine may also be used to stuff cherry tomatoes for an hors d'oeuvre tray.

User Reviews:

I used it as a dip with raw veggies, but without the food coloring. It was very good. I will save this recipe for parties at home. It was fast and easy to make.
