this recipe didn't do it for me. I like cucumbers alot, but this combo wasn't to my taste. The italian seasoning mixed with the cream cheese just didn't taste good.

I scaled this recipe down and made a single sandwich just for me.. then I had to make another one. They are so good! I used the ranch seasoning instead of the italian because I like ranch a lot more and it was suggested in a similar recipe. I'm a vegetarian so I am always looking for good vegetarian sandwiches. I have eaten probably 4 of these in the past 3 days and I definetely recommend this sandwich.

These are easy, attractive, and everyone seems to like them. I used the zesty Italian Good Seasons and everyone liked it. They were on the first plate to empty at the party today.
