QUICKIE CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
One of my favorite tea sandwiches is Ms. Jenny Benedictine's cucumber spread. This is a little twist on that spread. It's got a bit more herbs in it that her original recipe. Great for an afternoon snack or a fancy tea-time tray. Passive time is chill time.

- Add to the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before using to allow flavors to marry.
- Serve on crustless bread or fancy crackers.
CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
Cut sandwiches after they are assembled to avoid messy edges and have a cleaner look. I find that extra chopped dill is nice. A nice looking garnish is a half a grape flat side down on a slice of cucumber.

My DD's friend Hannah made these for a tea party they had with their friends; Amanda loved them so she made them at her senior project, a volunteer appreciation tea. They're a classic!

GRANDMA'S CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
My Grandma and her sisters got together every couple of weeks to play bridge. She always made these sandwiches when it was her turn to host--and spent most of the day in the kitchen guarding the refrigerator to keep all the rest of us from stealing them! I changed the bread to whole wheat, as I like it better, but you can use whatever suits you--we also use pumpernickel or rye.
