Cucumber sandwiches are a delightful classic that bring a touch of elegance to any gathering, whether it’s a casual brunch or a sophisticated tea party. Growing up, my grandmother would often make these for our Sunday afternoon get-togethers, and they always felt like a special treat. The creamy lemon herb spread adds a fresh and tangy twist, making these sandwiches not only refreshing but also incredibly satisfying. They’re perfect for those moments when you want something light yet flavorful.
These cucumber sandwiches pair wonderfully with a light salad, perhaps a mixed greens salad with a simple vinaigrette. You could also serve them alongside a bowl of fresh fruit or a chilled gazpacho for a refreshing summer meal. If you’re hosting a tea party, consider adding some scones or a selection of cheeses to the table for a well-rounded spread.
