Cucumber Sandwich Ingredients
These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this cucumber sandwich recipe:
Cucumber: Naturally, one will be required! Specifically, thinly slice and peel a cucumber.
· Cream cheese and mayonnaise: Combine the two to create a rich, creamy spread that will elevate these cucumber tea sandwiches to a whole new level.
· Seasonings: Add Worcestershire sauce, onion salt, and garlic powder to your cream cheese spread. A delightful flavor explosion is added to the cucumber slices by dusting them with lemon pepper.
