Benedictine Spread
  1. Place grated cucumber and onion in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Press down to drain of excess water. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let sit for 15 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator, pressing every so often to drain. {Alternatively, you can place the grated mixture in the center of a clean kitchen towel and twist to wring out as much water as possible.} Discard liquid.

  2. In the bowl of a mixer {or in a regular bowl with a wooden spoon}, combine drained cucumber, onion, cream cheese, sour cream and Tabasco. Beat until well combined.

  3. Taste and add salt to your liking. {Start with less & work your way up.}

  4. Scoop into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight if desired.

  5. Serve with pumpernickel toasts, veggies, or crackers.
