Good suggestion, I guess it would work and taste the same. I guess the colorful little sprinkle of dressing mix is just part of the presentation of the appetizer. Thanks!

Haven't tried yet but why not mix the Italian salad dressing mix with the cream cheese first, then spread on rye and top with cucumber? Just a thought/

I would suggest mixing the entire package of seasoning mix into the cream cheese before spreading on the bread. I've been making them that way for years and they are delicious and flavorful.

Took these to a Christmas party yesterday and they were the first appetizer to disappear!! Everyone loved them. I also mixed the dressing in with the Philly (and I used 1/3 reduced fat and low sodium dressing) and then sprinkled a bit of paprika on top for the red/green color. Pretty AND tasty! I will definitely make these again!

I felt like these could be more flavorful, but they went over well at a party I hosted. I would maybe try a flavored cream cheese in addition to sprinkling with the Italian dressing--or perhaps mixing the dressing with the cream cheese, and then sprinkling with some other colorful herb. Good quick appetizer though, I will make again with variations. Thanks for posting!
