Every summer there are certain garden crops<\/a> that produce in abundance. Cucumbers are one of those. Even if you don\u2019t grow them yourself, they\u2019re widely available at stores and farmers markets. These simple cucumber sandwiches are a creamy and fresh way to enjoy cucumbers!<\/p>\n

Often served at tea parties as finger food, cucumber tea sandwiches are a classic. They\u2019re also a practical and delicious choice for snack time, appetizers, or a simple side dish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cucumber Cream Cheese Sandwiches<\/h2>\n

Cucumbers have a really high water content, some fiber, and various nutrients. You\u2019ll find vitamin C and K, magnesium, and potassium. They\u2019re a great way to hydrate<\/a> during the warm summer months. Not only that, but they add a nice refreshing crunch to dishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We use cucumbers a lot chopped up in salads or for pickles<\/a>, but I wanted to try them in cucumber sandwiches too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Supposedly authentic English cucumber sandwiches originated in 1870s British occupied India. The English created them to cope with the heat. Later on they became an afternoon tea time staple. And then Americans added the creamy sauce to go with the bread and cucumbers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I added some microgreens for extra flavor and nutrition. Plus they add another pop of color and freshness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Different Variations (Including Grain-Free)<\/h2>\n

For many years I didn\u2019t eat any gluten or grains, but now I\u2019ll eat them on ocassion.<\/a> Classic cucumber sandwiches use crustless, white bread. This isn\u2019t my first choice for several reasons, but they taste just as good on sprouted grain bread or sourdough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to skip the grains, then there are a few different options. We also like using butter lettuce leaves as a sandwich wrap. Another option is to keep it simple and just top the cucumbers with the cream cheese sauce.<\/p>\n

I opted for cream cheese for the filling, but some recipes use mayo for a filling. If you need a dairy-free option, try mixing a little mayo with the herbs and seasonings instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
