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.

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.
