Steps:
- Peel the cucumber and cut in chunks. If it's got a lot of big seeds, scoop some out and discard. Put it in a food processor and chop fine. If it's really moist, or you didn't seed it, then you may want to squeeze off some of the excess juice.
- Put the onion in the processor and chop. Add the rest of the ingredients. Process, scrape down the sides, and process again until smooth.
- I like it best on soft, white bread. But it's also great on crackers.

Tips:

- Spread your favorite condiments on the bread, such as butter, cream cheese, mayonnaise, or hummus.
- Add other fillings to your sandwiches, such as sliced tomatoes, onions, sprouts, or avocado.
- Season your sandwiches with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve your cucumber sandwiches immediately or wrap them tightly and refrigerate them for later.
