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! :)}

    I make these but I use the little loaf of party rye bread and sprinkle dill weed on cucumber. Really makes it pop.

    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!!
