Ingredients

1 Straight cucumber

125 grams (4oz) Cream cheese, softened

teaspoon Dry onion flakes, crushed

teaspoon Dried dill weed

Paprika

Preparation

Score cucumber all around by scraping from top to bottom with fork tines.

Cut ends off and scoop out seeds from center. A small spoon and a vegetable corer work well. Be sure to remove all seeds because that is the part where most of the moisture is. Mash cheese with a fork. Add onion and dill. Mash together. Stuff cucumber. Wrap and chill. To serve, slice and sprinkle with paprika. May be served as is or on a cracker. -
