Cucumber Dip or Spread

Grind cucumber and onion together, very fine.

Put in a strainer or cheesecloth and press out juice.

Soften cream cheese. Add enough of the juice to make it a dippable consistency.

Add salt to taste and a shake of Accent also enhances the flavor.

If the vegetables did not render enough juice to make the cheese spreadable, add mayonnaise.

A drop of green vegetable coloring makes this very pretty.

If a strong flavor is desired, add a tiny bit of the finely ground pulp.
