CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
My children wanted to plant a garden, and we ended up with buckets of cucumbers. When I tired of making pickles, I came up with these pretty, little sandwiches. We made 200 of them for a family gathering, and everyone wanted the recipe. -Kimberly Smith Brighton, Tennessee

CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
Cut sandwiches after they are assembled to avoid messy edges and have a cleaner look. I find that extra chopped dill is nice. A nice looking garnish is a half a grape flat side down on a slice of cucumber.

GRANDMA'S CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
My Grandma and her sisters got together every couple of weeks to play bridge. She always made these sandwiches when it was her turn to host--and spent most of the day in the kitchen guarding the refrigerator to keep all the rest of us from stealing them! I changed the bread to whole wheat, as I like it better, but you can use whatever suits you--we also use pumpernickel or rye.

QUICKIE CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES
One of my favorite tea sandwiches is Ms. Jenny Benedictine's cucumber spread. This is a little twist on that spread. It's got a bit more herbs in it that her original recipe. Great for an afternoon snack or a fancy tea-time tray. Passive time is chill time.

HONEY BANANA TEA SANDWICHES
The combination of honey and banana promotes great help with anemia (thanks for that info, Rita!). It also makes a great spread for a tea sandwich! You could use toasted white bread, but I have found that the combo spread on whole wheat bread or pumpernickel is WONDERFUL! It also gives a bit more nutritious value to what you're eating. I don't normally toast the wheat bread for these little treats, but you could. It's also a great recipe to serve to younger tea party guests.
