There are few appetizers I enjoy more than little cucumber tea sandwiches. The rest of the appetizers we served definitely had more of a mediterranean feel, but I couldn't resist making this dish!
CUCMBER TARTINES
Several slices whole wheat bread, preferably something with seeds and grains, crusts removed, each slice cut into 2-4 squares
1 cucumber, peeled
4 oz. cream cheese
lemon juice
1 Tbsp parsely (approx)
1 Tbsp dill (approx)
salt and pepper
lemon juice
- Cut the cucumber in half and then halve each piece lengthwise
- Cut one half of the cucumber into very think semi circles. Place in a colander in the sink, sprinkle with salt and let drain
- Dice the other half of the cucumber and add to the cream cheese
- Add the parsley, dill, some salt and pepper and a dash of lemon juice to the cream cheese and mix together, adjusting seasoning as needed
- Just before serving, spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bread
- Arrange the cucmber slices on top of the pieces like fish scales and serve
