TOP SHELF..If you want to impress someone with a recipe this one is the one as YOU WILL impress your guest with this recipe. I made it as directions stated. As other reviewers said the entire package of Italian dressing to some may be too much, so taste as you mix this together. We VERY much enjoyed the blend it made using the entire package of dressing along with Hellmann's real mayonnaise. Slice the cucumber very thin lengthwise to get a little curl. If you have dried fresh dill it adds a wonderful essence to the flavor. (If you grow your own dill you will want to dry some for this recipe in the future) Use a fresh baguette for best results and cut it on a slight angle. Take along copies of this recipe as YOU WILL be asked for copies of it.

A little bland-- needs a few fresh herbs, but the basics ARE there and I WON'T lie-- this will impress friends and family at any small gathering. :)

Wonderful recipe! I served it as a dip with slices of cucumbers and slices of baguette on the side. I added the dill to the mix and as others stated only used 1/2 the dressing mix! Those who do not like cucumber still loved the dip. It was gone in no time!

Received rave reviews when I served this to my family on Easter. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because you definitely cannot use the entire Italian dressing packet. Like so many previous reviews mentioned - be sure to taste as you go. I ended up using a little better than half of a packet. Otherwise, this was a fabulous recipe and it made a nice presentation. I highly recommend it.

This recipe is great for Easter!!! I doubled the recipe and used one package normal cream cheese, and one package strawberry cream cheese. It turned out beautifully! Very pretty and very tasty!!!

Yum! I used sour cream instead of mayo and mrs. dash instead of the italian seasoning. Served them on rye tricuits and it was great and SO easy.

I won best dish with this recipe at an Easter Tea!! I followed the directions for the spread, used an English cucumber and sourdough baguette. I did use less dressing mix, but like other reviewers said, it's all a matter of preference and taste. Absolutely wonderful, I will be making this again and again!!
