Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing your English cucumbers under cold running water. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice them thinly, aiming for uniform thickness.

  3. Dollop generous spoonfuls of softened cream cheese onto the cucumbers and onions in the container, spreading it evenly.
  4. Add your preferred amount of mayonnaise into the container, fold the ingredients together without over-mixing.

  6. Cover the deli container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
