EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES
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.

CRUNCHY CUCUMBER ROUNDS
I found the recipe for these cute crisp appetizers in an old cookbook several years ago. They're fun to serve because people inevitably ask, "What's in this?" Make sure your cucumber slices are dry so the fruit mixture will stick to the tops. -Phyllis Pollock, Erie, Pennsylvania
