BY Cucumber Sandwich Recipe
The cucumber sandwich recipe is a simple one comprising of paper thin slices of cucumber layered carefully over a white bread with no overlapping.
This traditional sandwich is often served at tea parties as a light appetizer.
Your basic cucumber sandwich includes only slices of cucumber with a very thin spread of a light butter.
By tradition it is recommended you slice off the crust and cut the sandwich in four quarters, or cut them lengthways to create three finger sandwiches from every cucumber sandwich you serve up.
