Southern Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Chichi Uguru
Easy cucumber sandwiches recipe, made with or without the perfect cream cheese spread served as an appetizer or as part of a high tea menu. Cucumbers are very healthy vegetables and I love my cucumbers either as a snack or in my favorite salads or juices.

Notes

  1. Use a mandoline slicer if you have one for thinly sliced cucumbers. if you dont have one, you can use a sharp knife and a chopping board but make sure you go slowly so you don't get hurt.
  2. Use less watery cucumbers like English cucumbers to prevent soggy sandwiches.
  3. See body of post for more tips and frequently asked questions.
