MUST-TRY CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE



Must-Try Cucumber Sandwich Recipe image

Easy cucumber sandwich recipe without cream cheese perfect for parties, picnics, or light lunches! You'll love the creamy labneh spread with olive oil and plenty of fresh herbs! Use soft white sandwich bread (as fresh as possible!) and English cucumbers for best results. If using garden cucumbers, be sure to peel off the waxy skin first. Serve cucumber sandwiches with other finger foods and little desserts like tomato and feta bites, antipasto skewers, biscotti, and butter cookies.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup labneh, (homemade or store-bought)
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill
3 tablespoons chopped basil
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil
½ English cucumber, (thinly sliced)
8 slices soft bread, (crust removed)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the labneh, chopped fresh herbs, and a dash of kosher salt. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well.
  • Arrange the bread slices on a large cutting board and spread one side of each slice with a generous spoonful of labneh.
  • Arrange the cucumber slices on half of the bread slices, overlapping the cucumbers so they will fit well. Top with the other slice of bread (you should have 4 cucumber sandwiches at this point).
  • Pressing down gently, cut each cucumber sandwich into quarters (triangles or rectangles will work as well).
  • Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and serve with a garnish of dill. (If you have any cucumber slices left, you can arrange them on the plate as well). Enjoy!

EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES



Easy Cucumber Party Sandwiches image

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

COOL CUCUMBER SANDWICHES



Cool Cucumber Sandwiches image

Well, who would have thought dill pickles with grapes would make such a great sandwich. We tried this with tuna and loved the combination of flavors and textures. We bet chicken would be tasty too. This is a great summertime sandwich. If you want it extra creamy, just add a little extra Miracle Whip.

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

I was introduced to a similar cucumber sandwich by a friend many years ago. I sometimes add thinly sliced onions for a change of pace. Along with fruit salad, it makes a light summer lunch. -Karen Schriefer, Stevensville, Maryland
