Cucumber Sandwiches
The weather is finally warming up, the sun is shining brightly and I am SO READY for all the fresh produce of spring and summer. These refreshing little cucumber sandwiches with a dilly cream cheese spread are the perfect light lunch for warmer weather or a snack to serve with tea or brunch, Mother’s Day, bridal showers, and more. But they’re so deliciously fresh that you’ll probably end up making them all summer long!
There are a lot of interpretations of cucumber sandwiches out there, the most basic being sliced cucumber between two slices of buttered bread, but we took our cucumber sandwiches to the next level with a tangy, dilly, cream cheese spread. The herby flavor of the cream cheese pairs perfectly with the super fresh flavor of the cucumber for an absolutely perfect sandwich. They’re usually made with a soft white bread to match their delicate flavor, but I think it would be fun to experiment with different types of bread for these sandwiches!
