Cucumber Sandwiches

Step 1

Peel cucumber and slice very thin.

Step 2

Place cucumber slices between two paper towels set in a colander. Allow liquid to drain, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, blend together cream cheese and mayonnaise.

Step 4

Add next four ingredients and blend well. (You can do this by hand or with an electric hand mixer.)

Step 5

Spread approximately one tablespoon cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread.

Step 6

Arrange cucumber slices generously on one slice of bread, then top with a second slice of bread. Repeat until you have five sandwiches.

Step 7

Stack three to four sandwiches together and gently slice off the crusts with a serrated knife. (I like to do this with an electric knife. It makes it easy to cut gently.)

Step 8

While sandwiches are stacked, gently slice them on a diagonal for half sandwiches, or cut across again to make quarter sandwiches.
