Recipe(tried): More Bridal Shower/Tea Menu Ideas
Holidays, CelebrationsVickie,
I hosted a garden tea party for my Mother's 80th birthday. I am posting some of the "finger food" recipes served. Perhaps this will give you more ideas.

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (7 1/2 ounce) can pink salmon, drained and flaked
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons green bell pepper, minced
2 teaspoons onion, grated
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke flavoring
In bowl, combine cream cheese, salmon, parsley, green pepper, onion, lemon juice and Liquid Smoke. Mix well. Cover and chill several hours or overnight. Make a slice on blossom end of each cherry tomato. Scoop out pulp and discard. Invert tomatoes on paper towel to drain. Spoon salmon mixture into large zip-lock bag. Snip corner from bag and squeeze filling into tomatoes. Garnish with parsley or dill sprig if desired
Makes about 4 dozen.
Benedictine Canapes
1 large cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/2 small onion, coarsely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mayonnaise

Cucumber wedges for garnish
In food processor, combine cucumber and onion. Pulse until finely chopped. Squeeze out excess moisture and transfer to large bowl. Add cream cheese, salt and Tabasco. Add enough mayonnaise to form a spreading consistency. Spread on bread slices. For garnish, cut unpeeled cucumber 1/8 inch thick. Cut into wedges. Stand wedges upright on sandwiches and garnish with parsley sprig along side of cucumber wedge.
