This is a sandwich for my sisters.
My sisters and I have a thing for cucumbers. And sprouts. And cream cheese, grainy mustard, onions and seedy bread. It’s true. In fact, were you to put that sandwich in the picture above in front of any one of my sisters, there’s a good chance that the ensuing silence might be the only quiet you’d get around us.
We also have a thing for shopping.
…And dancing.
Folks, we cut a mean rug…
But mostly, we eat. We are very, very good at it. And we’d like to share a sandwich that screams ‘us’ with you. Want a bite? Better act quickly before we move in on it. Cucumber sandwiches wait for no woman.

Loved these little sandwiches… I cut mine in to 4ths and served them on pumperknickle (sp?) bread but I can see Rye adding a great flavor, too. The contrast of the grainy mustard with the cream cheese was splendid and I can see adding avocado making this already yummy sandwich, that much better.

This was SOOOO yummy! I used spicy horseradish mustard, because it is what I had. I added spring mix to the sandwich as well. So worth all the hassle of getting the stuff. At first I had everything except the sprouts, and cream cheese. When I got those, the cucumber that I had was not good. Now that I have everything, my tummy is elated!

The first time I ever had a cucumber sandwich was when I visited London while in college. Been in love with them ever since. Great recipe!

30 years ago it used to be that this was the only veggie sandwich on the menu. It was good then and it still is good now!
