These are just a few of my favorite finger sandwich recipes!
Cucumber Sandwiches
Serves 1
1/4-1/2 of a cucumber
fresh dill
1/4 cup of cream cheese
2 slices of white bread
salt
In a small bowl whip the cream cheese and dill together. Thinly slice the cucumber and salt. Spread the dill cream cheese on both pieces of bread and arrange the cucumbers on one side. Press the bread together and then slice the crust off and cut the sandwich diagonally. Garnish with sprigs of dill.
*Gluten Free Option
Eliminate the bread and dollop dill cream cheese onto the salted slices of cucumber. Can be served open-faced or topped with another cucumber slice. Garnish with sprigs of dill.

1 Tablespoon lemon juice
black pepper
