Easy Cucumber Sandwich Recipe
As soon as the weather starts to get a little warmer, I can’t resist the British tradition of a cucumber sandwich! A dill and garlic cream cheese is spread on white bread and layered with slices of fresh cucumber. Every bite is so delicious! Great to serve as an appetizer and perfect for picnics! These are the perfect food to serve before Easter dinner, on summer afternoons, or anytime you need something simple to serve with drinks.

Can you make them ahead of time?
These sandwiches are best enjoyed in a few of hours of making them so that the bread doesn’t get soggy. If you want to make them further ahead of time, you can salt the cucumber to remove excess water. Place the slices of cucumbers in a colander with layers of salt for 30 minutes, pat them dry with paper towel and they are ready to use. The cream cheese spread can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Can you make them healthier?
I prefer to use full fat cream cheese and mayonnaise as they are much richer and creamier in flavor. For a healthier option you can use reduced fat.
Do you have to cut the crusts off?
It’s traditional to cut off the edges of the bread for cucumber sandwiches, but you can leave them on if you prefer. Without the crusts the sandwiches are more delicate and light. These cucumber sandwiches really do make summer for me, and you’ll always find them if I’m hosting! So simple, so easy and so classy!
