Description

A Kentucky tradition from my hometown of Louisville (pronounced Lu-a-ville by the locals). As a child, my grandma made me countless benedictine sandwiches. As an adult, it surprised me to find out that it was a local treat & that no one outside of Louisville seemed to know about it! Simple but tasty!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Medium Cucumber
  • 4 Tablespoons Onion
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 drops Green Food Coloring (optional)

Preparation

Peel & seed cucumber. Grate or spin in food processor. Ditto for the onion.

Drain excess liquid from cucumber. Combine grated cucumber, onion, salt, & softened cream cheese.

Stir in green food coloring if using.

Spread on crustless white bread (think tea sandwiches). Enjoy!

I am so excited to find this recipe. I am a Louisville native transplanted to Alabama…when I moved here to go to college several years ago…I think the grocery store clerk thought I was crazy when I asked where the benedictine was…so glad to find this so I can FINALLY satisfy the craving.

Maybe it’s a Kentucky thing. We do benedictine in Lexington, too!

This sounds like a great alernative to the regular cucumber sandwiches!

My very best friend introduced me to benedictine years ago. She was from Lo i ville too. I always think of her when I have this yummy spread.
