Cucumber and Olive Appetizers

I followed the recipe as is. The cocktail rye bread made these seem dry and were too big for a slice of cucumber and a piece of olive. I scraped the dressing off and put it on crispy thin crackers. Then re-topped with cucumber and olive. MUCH better.

I took this recipe and sub stunted cocktail sauce for the bleu cheese dressing and used cooked shrimp (cut them in half long ways). One shrimp (two pieces) covers one slice of cocktail rye. You may want to adjust the cream cheese/cocktail sauce ratio. I also will try the original recipe and may add crumbled bleu cheese, too.

This was just “ok”; doubt I will make it again per this recipe…next time I might try mixing the cream cheese with ranch dip mix.

Made for appetizer at party. Well received. Rye bread is not my favorite so I switched to long thin French Bread baguette sliced and lightly toasted. Really enjoyed the presentation and taste

Great recipe…everyone enjoys these appetizers. As I do with most everything…add a bit (consider your audience:) of Tabasco to the dressing mixture…gives it a wonderful shot of flavor!!

Loved it,I made my own blue cheese drsing, which was easy, I will put this recipe on my go to list for party’s .

I have been making these for about a year now with a few changes. Instead of using blue cheese dressing I mix the cream cheese with about 1/2 of a Ranch packet mix. And on top of the cucumber I sprinkle dill instead of olives. They are amazing! Never have any leftover when the night is done!

These are good and easy. I am going to submit a better version titled cucumber sandwiches. Check it out. If you liked these, you will love mine.

Good recipes. I chopped up the cucumber and olives and mixed them in with the cream cheese. At first I tried to make this without the blue dressing(I normally make my own but didn’t feel like making any this time) but the dip did need it, so I added some blue cheese salad dressing and that made it taste better.

great recipe! took them too a potluck of 5 women, we ate 20 pieces! Everyone loved them. I didn’t have the mini loaves of bread at my supermarket, so I used italian sandwich thins (toasted).

I thought these were pretty tasty but many of my guests were afraid to try them.

used real blue cheese! Which i think made it even better!

These were a big hit – very quick and easy to make. I alternated the olive with a thin slice of gherkin for those who don’t like olives. Delicious!!

These were tasty but I preferred them with a thin layer of the dressing mixture and the cucumbers salted. Over all, my husband and I enjoyed them! 🙂

I thought they were a bit tangy. I followed the recipie but I put these on triscuts instead of the rye bread. Everyone seemed to like them.

very pretty on a plate – although getting the olives to stay put could sometimes be tricky – but my husband certainly enjoyed them. Great for parties/receptions – and no forks!

Very good & very easy. Just pinch of salt and it was perfect

My husband went crazy for these, but I think they needed a little more flavor. Maybe it was the rye bread I didn’t like. Next time I’ll use another type of cocktail bread and maybe some more blue cheese and less cream cheese. Good recipe!

I’m so glad I gave these a try. I would never think to put this combination together but they were delicious! Luckily they are so simple to make because I had to make another batch after my daughter and niece got to them…they didn’t leave many on the plate before my guests arrived!

I made this for my cookie exchange party and they were a BIG hit. I served them on sliced french bread and mixed the olives in with the spread and topped with the cucumber and roasted red peppers. I have had a few people ask me for the recipe – I will be making this again (and again!)

These were pretty enough, but the rye bread made them taste dry.
