CHEDDAR, CUCUMBER AND MARMALADE SANDWICHES
Melissa Clark came up with this recipe in 2011, a sandwich for her daughter, against the one she made for herself with Branston pickle in place of the marmalade. (Branston pickle is a British pickled chutney, made with vegetables, that dates back to the early 20th century.) You can certainly make the grown-up version. But this sweet, salty, cool variety is close to perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND CHEDDAR SANDWICH
My hubby introduced me to this interesting sandwich. I thought it was strange until I tried it!!! I recommend using the butter, but if you prefer not to please don't use margarine; you can use mayonnaise instead. This also works great for finger sandwiches!

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE AND CUCUMBER SANDWICH
A creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend provides satisfying and comforting flavor. I use sumac to bump up the already satisfying and comforting flavor of the creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend that blankets cucumbers, celery and dill. My first choice for bread is pumpernickel, but black bread or whole wheat country bread are also good.

Steps:
- In a mini-processor (or if multiplying the recipe, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade), blend together the goat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sumac and mix together.
- Spread half the cheese mixture on one slice of the bread. Sprinkle with dill. Top with a layer of thinly sliced celery. Top the celery with a layer of cucumber slices. Season if desired with salt and pepper and sprinkle on more dill. Spread the remaining cheese over the top slice of bread and sprinkle the walnuts over the cream so that they stick. Reverse the top slice onto the cucumber layer, press the sandwich gently (not too hard or the cream will ooze out), cut in half and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English cucumbers are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers.
- If you're using a grater to shred the cheese, be sure to use the large holes so that the cheese melts evenly.
- To make the sandwiches ahead of time, assemble them and then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

They're perfect for a quick and easy lunch or snack, and they're also a great way to use up leftover cucumbers and cheese.
