I just use Duke's mayo on a slice of bread and peeled slices of small cucumbers, a little salt and pepper.  I like cucumber sandwiches the origonal way.

Whipped cream cheese till soft, add a bit of fresh dill since it is so powerful, and spread the crustless bread with it, then layer super thin slices of cucumber sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt. Done.

@doxie1I love fresh tomatoes, hot from the sun, cut open and filled with cottage cheese or chicken salad.

I haven't made this, but it's the Pioneer Woman's recipe, Ree Drummond... I just saw it on her show this morning. I haven't made it, but it sounds simple and good to me. If you Google Pioneer Woman Cucumber Sandwiches, you can watch the video. I think I might try this one:

Pioneer Woman Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 8 slices white sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced 
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives 
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Spread one side of each slice of bread with a thin layer of butter. Arrange a single layer of cucumber slices on 4 of the bread slices. Stir together the mayonnaise, chives, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture over the cucumbers. Top with the remaining slices of buttered bread. Cut off the crusts and cut each sandwich into three fingers.

Cucumber sandwiches sound really good...I have never made them but have sampled at a couple of parties...seeing this post reminded me of a commercial about Ethel meeting the Queen and serving cucumber sandwiches....Whatever you do just don't add any Franks's RedHot Sauce!!!
