What do you get when you combine crisp cucumbers, zesty Italian cream cheese and soft pita bread? These mouthwatering cucumber sandwiches! Cool as a cucumber has a whole new meaning!
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and Italian dressing mix.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on each circle of pita.
Top with sliced cucumbers. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper and/or chile-lime seasoning. Cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
I prefer to make cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese, but you could use butter if you prefer.
To increase the zesty nature of these sandwiches, sprinkle them with a little lemon-pepper.
A convenient packet of Italian dressing mix makes the perfect cream cheese spread. Alternatively, you can use your favorite flavored cream cheese. Another idea is to use dry ranch dressing!
Packets of Italian dressing can be found near the bottled salad dressings. You’ll only need 1 tablespoon of the seasoning, so save the rest in an airtight bag. You can use as a seasoning in marinades and pasta salad.
