    Ingredients

    • 1 cup cooked conch peas (tender, drained, and cooled)

    • 1 large cucumber (peeled, seeded, finely chopped)

    • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)

    • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

    • 1 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra tang)

    • 1 tbsp finely grated onion

    • 1–2 tsp fresh dill (or ½ tsp dried)

    • 1 tsp lemon juice or a splash of vinegar

    • Salt & black pepper to taste

    • 1–2 tbsp toasted benne seeds (optional, for texture)

    • Soft white sandwich bread

     


     

    Instructions

    1. Prep the cucumber (don’t skip this)

    Place chopped cucumber in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This keeps your filling thick and spreadable (not soggy).

     


     

    2. Lightly mash the conch peas

    You want a mix of textures:

    • Some peas mashed (for creaminess)

    • Some left whole (for bite)

     


     

    3. Make the base

    In a bowl, mix:

    • Cream cheese

    • Mayo

    • Sour cream

    • Onion

    • Dill

    • Lemon juice

    • Salt & pepper

     


     

    4. Fold everything together

    Add:

    • Cucumber

    • Conch peas

    • Benne seeds (if using)

    Mix until combined but still slightly textured.

     


     

    5. Chill (important!)

    Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to let flavors come together and firm up.

     


     

    6. Assemble sandwiches

    • Spread onto soft white bread

    • Remove crusts

     

    Cut into fingers, triangles, or tea squares
