1 cup finely chopped celery
1/3 cup finely minced green onion
1 loaf sliced bread of choice
Olive slices, stuffed green or black, for garnish
Thinly sliced cucumber, twisted, for garnish

Blend first 10 ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.

Trim crusts from bread. Very lightly butter bread slices. Cut into desired shapes with knife or cookie cutter. Either pipe or spread mixture onto bread. Garnish as desired.
