Benedictine Spread

(recipe, Jennie C. Benedict)

Ingredients

1. 3 Tbsp. cucumber juice
2. 1 Tbsp. onion juice
3. 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4. 1 tsp. salt
5. Pinch of cayenne pepper
6. 2 drops green food coloring (optional)

Steps

1. To make the cucumber juice, peel and grate a cucumber; discard peelings. Wrap the pulp in a clean dish towel and squeeze juice into a dish. Do the same for the onion.
2. Mix all ingredients with a fork until well blended. (Using a blender will make the spread too thin.)
