In the summer months, it is always nice to have something cool and light to eat. One of my favorite summer time recipes is my cucumber sandwiches. They may seem like something you’d find only at a high scale function or a Royal Tea Party, but I love them for a tasty and simple dish on a hot afternoon or evening.
These sandwiches have become so popular with my friends and family, that when they have special functions, I get asked to bring some along for the buffet- and they are always the hit of the spread. I slice off the crusts and cut them into fourths to make them look extra fancy, but they taste just as great without all that fuss.
This recipe makes 12 whole sandwiches, so be the hit of the party and treat a crowd with a special treat.
With only a few simple ingredients, you too can dazzle your friends and family with a delicious and unique dish that is fit for royalty.
Belle’s Cucumber Sandwiches
½ cup Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (.6 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix
Wheat and White Bread (12 slices each)
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced paper thin
Dried dill
Beat together the Miracle Whip, cream cheese and dry salad dressing mix. Spread about a tablespoon of the mixture of each slice of bread. Top half of the bread slices with the sliced cucumber and then sprinkle with the dried dill. Top with the other slices of bread. You can cut off the crusts or leave them as is. Makes 12- 24 servings depending on if you serve them as appetizers or sandwiches.
Soup and sandwiches are always a good combination:
