Cucumber Party Sandwiches

Note the hint on page 42 concerning tea sandwiches.

1 to 2 loaves sandwich bread, crusts removed

2 to 3 tablespoons garlic & herb or ranch dry dressing mix

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

4 to 6 tablespoons milk

2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced

Paprika

Use a small biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut the bread into rounds the same diameter as the cucumber slices.

In a small mixing bowl blend the dressing mix and the cream cheese well. Add the milk to thin to a spreading consistency. Spread the bread rounds with a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture. Top the round with a cucumber slice and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Arrange on a pretty tray with lettuce and cherry tomatoes.

YIELD: 30 TO 60 ROUNDS
