LYNNE TOLLEY / MISS MARY BOBO'S BOARDING HOUSE

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese

2 medium carrots

1 small green or red bell pepper

1 medium cucumber

1 small onion

Mayonnaise, to taste (about 2 T)

Salt, to taste (about 1 t)

Prepared horseradish or hot pepper sauce, to taste

24 slices thin-sliced white or whole wheat bread

Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature.  Grate the vegetables on the fine side of a grater.  Allow to sit a few minutes and be sure to drain very well.  Blend vegetables with cream cheese, adding enough mayonnaise to make a nice spreadable mixture. Stir in salt and horseradish.  Spread on bread and top with another slice.  Cut off crusts and cut into four squares or fingers.

Makes about 4 dozen finger sandwiches.
