Cucumber Bagel Spread

On this episode of Recipe Hoarders... I finally get around to making a bagel spread I cut out of BH&G in 2006. Super simple, only 5 ingredients and ~tis the season~ for cucumbers!  
Wow, if I added some red bell pepper this would have fit nicely with the Christmas in July theme!

My thoughts:
  • I really like the nice crunch you get from the cool, crisp cucumbers.
  • I had a little cuke from the garden so I didn't peel it.
  • Subbed about 2 Tblsp of finely minced onion for the scallions. Sprinkled chives for color.
  • Salt is important in this, I added a lot of freshly ground black pepper too.
  • Overall it's tasty and a nice way to use up a cucumber.
Have a happy day:@)
