Italian salad dressing easily flavors this simple snack. You can also omit the bread and serve the spread as a dip with cucumbers or other veggies. —Carol Henderson, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Cucumber Sandwiches Tips

How can you prevent cucumber sandwiches from getting soggy?

Some cucumber recipes have you salt the cucumber and let it stand in a colander to draw out the water before preparation. That's not necessary for this recipe because it's just a single slice of cucumber over the cream-cheese spread. The spread prevents the moist cucumber slice from getting the bread soggy.

Can you make cucumber sandwiches ahead of time?

Make-ahead appetizer recipes are so convenient. These cucumber sandwiches can be assembled a few hours in advance to save time right before serving.

What can you serve with cucumber sandwiches?

Serve these cucumber sandwiches on a buffet with other summer appetizers, plus a pitcher of homemade lemonade or fruity punch.
