It is not a secret that I love appetizers and I definitely eat my fair share of them at every party, date night, and get together with friends. I don’t always make or choose the healthiest appetizer options, but it is nice to enjoy one that is on the lighter side (compared to most that I eat). Cucumber Sandwiches are one of my favorite appetizers and I am so glad my sister-in-law introduced me to these yummy snacks. When I lived in Pennsylvania, she made them for many occasions, such as birthday parties, Christmas, Easter, barbeques, and football parties, and they were always an appetizer I could not stop eating. They are super addictive and always a crowd pleaser. Since I have moved to Arizona, I have made Cucumber Sandwiches many times and they still remain to be a favorite. I make a huge platter every time, but they disappear very quickly. I made them as one of my appetizers to take to Aubrey’s Super Bowl potluck and they were again a huge hit. Cucumber Sandwiches are amazing for any occasion, but keep them in mind for summer because they are a great, refreshing appetizer to enjoy on a warm (blazing hot in Arizona) day!
