Every Monday I try to participate in meatless monday. I say "try" because I do fail on occasion, specially on grilling holidays...aka, memorial day! I make all sorts of things from black bean tacos to salad sandwiches. One of my favorites being cucumber sandwiches. They remind me of summer in the south.
I'm using french bread today but do as I say, not as I do. You want plain soft white bread. The softer the better, it should melt in your mouth. I unfortunately did not have any and I refused to leave the house. But I did get a surprise when cutting my bread....it formed into a heart! hehe
I cut all of the crusts from the bread, you should too.
I like a peeled cucumber, having to bite through the peeling when eating the lil sandwich does not work for me. You also want to slice it pretty thing, 1/4" or so.
I like mayo, cream cheese and what I have in the jar is my homemade ranch spice. You can use the packet, I just prefer to make my own.
Mix it all up. I really just eyeball here. Roughly I use 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to about 1/2 tablespoon of mayo and probably 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning. Give it a taste, adjust as you like.
Spread some of the mixture on your crust less breads.
Top it with a cucumber slice, a little salt and a little dried dill.
A nice little snack! Monkey wishes she was getting at least one!
