Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with Mint

by Sean Paajanen
for About.com

You can't get more refreshing than a mix of cucumber slices and fresh mint. A cool sandwich to go with your hot tea. I love the crisp feel of cucumber along with the smooth cream cheese.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Seedless cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter, soft
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 16 slices white bread

Preparation:

Blot cucumber slices to dry them off. In a mixing bowl, blend mint, butter and cream cheese. Spread mixture on each slice of bread. Lay cucumber slices on 8 slices of bread and sprinkle with salt. Top with remaining bread and remove crusts. Cut sandwiches into either halves or quarters (diagonally).
