Description:
The traditional cucumber sandwich is composed of thin slices of cucumber situated between two slices of fresh crustless, lightly buttered white bread. The sandwich originated in the United Kingdom, and modern variants, largely of United States origin, introduce cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped dill or spices, and salmon, and may be served on brown bread, or common crusted white bread. One specific US variant includes Benedictine, a green soft spread made from cucumbers and cream cheese.
