Simple and delicious. My Grandson loves cream cheese and cucumbers so he snacked and snacked got full on them, and had me make more the next day.

Delicious! I did as a previous reviewer and just warmed some regular (not whipped) cream cheese in the microwave to soften. Didn't have garlic salt so used a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of kosher salt. Also used dried dill. Lovely! Thanks for the recipe!

I gave this recipe 3 stars. I tried this recipe after my mom told me about tea sandwiches she had with my 4 yr old newphew at his school. This was good the mayonnaise set the filling off. Overall I'll probably make these again! Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)
