  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Pink Himalayan salt, to taste

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

  • 2 loaves of thin-sliced bread, crusts removed (20/22 slices per loaf)

  • Zest of 1 lemon for garnishing
  • Sprigs of fresh dill for garnishing

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the cucumber sandwich spread.
  2. Thinly slice the cucumber, leaving the peel intact!
  3. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut out two circles from each slice of bread.
  4. With a butter knife, gently spread the cream cheese mixture across a circle of bread. Place a slice of cucumber on top of the cream cheese spread. Add small sprigs of dill on top of the cucumber. If desired, sprinkle a few pieces of lemon zest on top of the dill.

EXPERT TIPS

  • HOW TO THINLY SLICE CUCUMBERS: Use an adjustable mandoline slicer or your food processor.
  • ADDITIONAL SHAPES FOR FINGER SANDWICHES: When hosting a tea party, mix things up by serving finger sandwiches in different shapes! Slice off the bread crusts before adding the spread. After placing the top layer of bread on each sandwich, cut each into 3 rectangles, 4 triangles, or 4 squares.
  • PREP CUCUMBER SANDWICHES IN ADVANCE: The cucumber sandwich spread can be made 24 hours in advance. You can slice the cucumbers and cut out the bread rounds in advance as well. Simply store each ingredient separately in air-tight containers or zip-top bags. When you’re ready to serve your finger sandwiches, assemble them with freshly trimmed sprigs of dill and freshly-zested lemon rind!
