My Mom’s Cucumber Sandwiches
Looking for an easy appetizer to make? Well, I’ve got it! My mom has been making this easy cucumber sandwich recipe for years and let me tell you… they are the easiest thing to make EVER! But also one of the most delicious and tastiest things you’ll ever try. Once you take a bite of these amazing Cucumber Sandwiches you will wonder “where have they been all my life?”
These cucumber sandwiches make a great appetizer for almost any occasion. I’ve made them for Superbowl Parties, Baby Showers, and now most recently my sister-in-laws Bachelorette Party. The wedding was this past week, and while it turned out to be amazing it was definitely eventful. For starters, the tux shop gave my husband the wrong tux in the wrong size. He found this out an hour before they were suppose to take pictures and three hours before the ceremony. Where was his tux you ask? Somewhere in Minnesota… we are in Texas people!!! The end result: my husband standing in the foyer with tux pants that he had ripped the seam out of, a vest he borrowed from an usher that was 2 sizes too small, no jacket, a shirt borrowed from the Father of the Bride, and black socks with no shoes. Ten minutes after the ceremony was suppose to start his tux arrived, he put on his shoes threw on his jacket and we walked down the aisle. Some day I’ll tell you just a few more of the things that went down that day. In the mean time, here’s a shout out to the newest member of our family. My beautiful sister in law and her “son” Rocky! {this is even before makeup…I know.. I’m jealous too! :)}
FOREWARNING: If you bring these Cucumber Sandwiches to a party, just be prepared to answer how you made them and what’s in them. 🙂
Cucumber Sandwich Ingredients
These cucumber sandwiches only need a few simple ingredients. To make them you will need:
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 package of zesty italian dressing {dry mix}
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 whole wheat french bread loaf, cut into 1/4” slices
How to Make Cucumber Sandwiches
To get started, mix 8 oz. of softened cream cheese with one package of zesty Italian dressing dry mix.
I used a hand blender to mix. It makes things so easy! You can also mix by hand if you prefer.
Next, wash and thinly slice 1 cucumber.
Then slice 1 whole wheat loaf of french bread into 1/4″ slices.
Once all components are ready, spread a little bit of the cream cheese mixture on a slice of french bread.
Top it off with a slice of cucumber.
That’s it! Who knew it was so easy to make a cucumber sandwich right?

woohoo! enjoy girl!
I make these but I use the little loaf of party rye bread and sprinkle dill weed on cucumber. Really makes it pop.
★★★★
Love the dill idea Pam! Definitely need to try that!
I also add 1/2 cup mayo (not miracle whip) to it for a creamy texture, and top it with a halved cherry tomato and a sprinkle of dill. Trust me there will be nothing left on the tray!!

Oh… that sounds delicious it especially with the cherry tomato on top. YUM! Love the change up Dee!
