Cucumber sandwich
Craving for a light sandwich? Or looking for a finger sandwich to make for your tea party? Make sure you try this classic cucumber sandwich out!
A perfect refreshing lunch or appetizer for all ages!
Tea sandwiches are usually made with plain white bread, but it is totally fine to use brown or wholewheat bread as long as they are soft.
Cucumber Sandwich
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- cucumber
- greek yoghurt (see note 2)
- dille
- garlic powder
- salt & pepper
- lemon juice
Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly. Place in a bowl and add a little bit of salt. Set it aside to let it release its liquid.
Spread:
Mix together the Greek yoghurt, chopped dille, garlic powder, splash of lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste in a bowl.
Spread the mixture on one side of each sandwich bread.
Pat dry the cucumber with kitchen towel. Layer the sandwiches with the sliced cucumbers. Then top with the remaining sandwich bread.
Cutting the sandwiches:
Option 1:
Cut off the crusts of your sandwiches. Then cut the sandwiches in quarters. (see note 1)
Option 2:
Cut the sandwiches in two diagonally.
Note 1:
Cut the crusts off if you are making high tea sandwiches. This will make your sandwiches look delicate and easier to eat.
Note 2:
I use Greek yoghurt for this recipe for a healthier twist. If you like a thicker consistency, feel free to use cream cheese instead.
