I’ve seen finger sandwiches like these served at all kinds of occasions, especially baby showers, bridal showers and early afternoon wedding receptions. I fell in love with the concept though, and I’ll serve them at most any kind of get-together that I can like birthday parties, family barbecues or a relaxed evening with friends hanging out on the patio.
There are lots of classic, delicious choices for filling finger sandwiches such as egg salad, ham salad, tuna salad and of course, there are loads of cold cut/cheese combinations.
I mentioned to a friend of mine that I planned to post about cucumber finger sandwiches this weekend and her response was “like the kind served at fancy tea parties?!”. I giggled and reassured her that she could safely put her pinky finger down and enjoy these cute, little sandwiches with a chilled cocktail, glass of wine or beer… or of course, tea!
Kitchen Equipment Tip: An all-purpose grater like this one is a great tool to keep around in the kitchen –> https://amzn.to/2Mx0NGi

I've never tried anything similar to this, but these sandwiches seem so palatable!
I really like your version of the cucumber sandwiches and I'm they would disappear quickly if served as a little nibble with cocktails.
Thank you, David! We've been busy packing to move. Can't wait to get there and be all settled in!!

Cucumber sandwiches, big or small, have been a favorite of mine since childhood! Hope all is well with you!
