“I got this recipe from one of my cooking classes in college. It's the "old fashioned" type of appetizer, but one that makes a beautiful display on the plate and I never take any home with me because they disappear quickly.” - by Gwena Hedlund

Ingredients

1 large cucumber
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1 (1 pound) loaf cocktail rye bread
15 pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped
