🔔 THE BEST EASY SANDWICH 🔔 Write “CUCUMBER” to get this recipe delivered right to your DM’s! 🥒
Throwback to about 3 years ago when these cucumber sandwiches stole the show at my sister’s baby shower 🥒✨ People haven’t stopped raving about them since!
I popped the recipe on my social media and website, and guess what? They’ve continued to be a massive hit! 🚀 Seriously, they’re that good. Plus, they’re super easy—just five ingredients and 10 minutes is all it takes to whip up the perfect appetizer, lunch, or snack. Try them out and you’ll get all the hype! 🥪💚
A few tips:
* Make Ahead: Whip up the spread 1-2 days in advance—it gets tastier as it sits!
* Cream Cheese: Go full-fat for richer, thicker flavor. For quick softening, pop it in the microwave.
* Ranch Mix: Hidden Valley ranch adds the best flavor IMO
* Cucumbers: Choose Persian or English cucumbers for the best crisp bite.
* Extras: Sprinkle in some fresh dill, parsley, or chives and a dash of cracked pepper to elevate your sandwich!
