Ingredients

Sandwich spread:

8 ounces cream cheese

3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)

½ to 1 tablespoon dry Ranch Dressing mix

For the sandwiches:

8 slices hearty bread (I like dark rye for this) or bagels (cut bagels in half and toast very lightly)

1 cucumber, peeled and sliced ¼” thick

several ice cold crispy lettuce leaves

thin tomato slices

thin sweet onion slices

cheese slices (Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, Havarti, Goat, Brie, just to name a few choices)

Directions

Mix cream cheese with just enough mayonnaise to make it a spreadable consistency.

Season this with the dry Ranch Dressing mix, adding enough to suit your taste.

Spread one side of each slice of bread or bagel with as much sandwich spread as desired.

Keep any extra sandwich spread covered and refrigerated for later use.

Lay 4 slices of bread or bagel halves, sandwich spread side up, on the counter and start assembling.

First a layer of cold sliced cucumbers, then some crisp lettuce leaves, a slice of juicy tomato, a slice of sweet onion, and finally a slice of whatever cheese you like.

Top each creation with the remaining slices of bread or bagel halves, sandwich spread side down.

Cut each sandwich in half and chow down while they're still cold and crispy!
