Herb Garden Cucumber Sandwiches
6 Jul
Our home garden is overflowing with cucumbers, so I have been finding new ways to use the surplus of them up. Herb Garden Cucumber Sandwiches remind me of the finger foods served at tea parties. They are delicate and make a great snack when relaxing by the pool with friends, bridal and baby showers, or afternoon tea. If you make the herb spread for the sandwiches ahead of time and keep some in the fridge, this snack can be made in a hurry when people pop in.
At first glace, the Herb Garden spread seems to have way to many herbs in it. But they all work well together, and elevate the mayonnaise spread to a higher level with many amazing dimensions. The Garden Sandwiches are simple in their construction, but complex at the same time. Very tasty and just enough food to keep you going, but not too much to make you feel stuffed. The cool Herb Garden Cucumber Sandwiches are a must to try out.
