A Basic Cucumber Sandwich
When I was in high school, there was a bakery near the school that sold cucumber *only* sandwiches. They were cheap, so I bought them with my allowance. They were perfectly seasoned with salt, and delicious, and have remained in my memories.
I thought back to those sandwiches, used my favorite yogurt sauce, and made my own variation.
To prevent the sandwiches from becoming watery, be sure to squeeze out the salt-massaged cucumbers very well to remove excess moisture. Recipe by Maki Kaoru

Refreshing Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches Refreshing Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches
My friend and I have always loved cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. We needed something new, so we found a recipe from one of my mom's cookbooks.The dill weed is optional; it adds a good flavor, but it is super flavorful without it, too.I like to make a double batch of this and make them for my work lunches.Whipped cream cheese is easier to blend with the other ingredients. But I take my cream cheese brick out and let it soften while I get everything else together.
