Cucumber Sandwiches
It’s the details that make these herbed cucumber sandwiches feel special: slicing the cucumbers thin, salting and patting the slices dry and making sure the dill gets evenly distributed in the cream cheese. Soft bread is key here, as is the generous amount of whipped cream cheese — both elements give these sandwiches their delightful texture.
