Make these refreshing cucumber salad sandwiches using a simple cream cheese base. They are perfect for afternoon tea or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Arrange a single layer of thin cucumber slices over the cream cheese on eight slices of bread.
  4. Top each with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
  5. Carefully trim the crusts off all sandwiches.
  6. Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for tea sandwiches.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can lightly salt the cucumber slices and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat them dry before assembling the sandwich.
  • Use high-quality, soft sandwich bread for the best texture in these tea sandwiches.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise for half of the cream cheese for a slightly different texture in your cucumber salad filling.
