CUCUMBER SANDWICHES
I was introduced to a similar cucumber sandwich by a friend many years ago. I sometimes add thinly sliced onions for a change of pace. Along with fruit salad, it makes a light summer lunch. -Karen Schriefer, Stevensville, Maryland

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use English hothouse cucumbers. They have a mild flavor and thin skin, making them ideal for sandwiches.
- If you don't have English hothouse cucumbers, you can use regular cucumbers. Just be sure to peel and seed them first.
- Use high-quality bread. A good sandwich bread should be soft and fluffy, with a slightly chewy crust.
- Spread the mayonnaise or cream cheese all the way to the edges of the bread. This will help to keep the sandwich together and prevent the filling from falling out.
- Layer the cucumber slices and other fillings evenly on the bread. This will ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
- Don't overstuff the sandwich. You want to be able to bite into it easily.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for later.
