INGREDIENTS
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and rough chopped
1 Tbp minced onion
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Dash Tabasco sauce
Salt and white pepper to taste
1/3 cup minced watercress leaves
2 drops green food coloring (optional)
fresh bread, sliced
bacon slices, cooked
tomato, sliced
METHOD
Place cucumber and minced onion in food processor and process until almost pureed. Pour out onto a clean cotton towel, gather up the edges and squeeze over a sink until dry. Scrape the cucumber mixture back into the processor and add cream cheese, mayonnaise and Tabasco. Pulse until well mixed. Taste and then season with salt and white pepper. Add green food coloring (if using). Fold in minced watercress and pour out into a bowl. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. If the dip is too thick for your taste, thin with a little milk.
To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of dip on bread and top with bacon and tomato.
