Greek Salad Cucumber Bites
I’m teaming up with Paula Deen, GoodBite.com and Philadelphia Cream Cheese again this year to present The Real Women of Philadelphia. Paula Deen has already found four of the next big cooking stars through the RWoP cook-off in Savannah. Now she’s encouraging enthusiastic home cooks to submit recipes using Philadelphia Cream Cheese or Philly Cooking Creme to http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com/. Anyone can submit their recipe to the site, along with a required photo and short description of their (hopefully) winning dish! Five winners will be chosen for each week, for eight weeks, and each will receive $500! I’ll kick it off for you with a delicious and easy appetizer made with Philly Cream Cheese: Greek Salad Cucumber Bites

Love the idea. I have also topped cucumber slices with homemade chicken salad and it’s also a great appetizer. Surely gonna try your version!
