Cucumber Sandwiches Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This cucumber sandwiches recipe is an easy appetizer recipe to make and only uses four ingredients!  These mini sandwiches will quickly become one of your favorite appetizers and the best thing to bring to any gathering.

My sister-in-law introduced me to this recipe years ago and I knew I had to share it with you because it’s THAT good!  When I first ate these, to say I was obsessed was an under-statement.  I had to walk away because it was easy to eat way too many of them. These fancy mini cucumber sandwiches recipe has become my go-to for a tea party appetizer recipe.

Ingredients for cucumber sandwiches

To make the cucumber sandwiches all you need is 4 ingredients:

  • Rye bread – this is usually sold by the deli counter, called ‘cocktail bread’ – or you could use any bread and cut it in small shapes
  • Cucumbers – I like to use seedless English cucumbers
  • Cream cheese – this works best at room temperature, feel free to use reduced fat cream cheese
  • A packet of ranch dressing mix – be sure to get the powdered packet of ranch dressing, as opposed to anything liquid.

There’s a fifth ingredient if you feel like getting fancy with a topping.  You can always add a sprig of dill to take the sandwiches to the next level.

Spreading cream cheese ranch mixture on bread

How do you make these cucumber sandwiches?

  1. Combine ranch seasoning packet and cream cheese.
  2. Spread layer on piece of bread.
  3. Slice cucumber and top bread/cream cheese mixture with the cucumber slice.
  4. Add a sprig of dill for garnish (optional)

So simple and SO delicious!

I love taking these cucumber sandwiches to parties.  They are so easy to make in bulk and everyone loves them.  These are the perfect sandwiches for something like a bridal shower or tea party inspired party – and then, don’t forget to add a mimosa bar to the party – everyone will love it.

This cucumber sandwiches recipe will quickly become one you make on repeat – I promise!  Easy, delicious and under 5 ingredients.

    I love these and there are often requested by my daughters and nieces. I too use Good Seasonings Zesty Italian seasoning and sprinkle a little dried dill on top. Always hope for leftovers when I put 2 halves together for little sammies! Can’t wait for your weekly emails 🙂

    I’ve made these cucumber sandwiches for years. But I’ve always used one packet of Italian Dressing mix instead of Ranch. I can’t wait to try the ranch!

      YAY! I’m so glad you liked them, and I’m so glad you were there to help (and to teach me how to peel a cucumber the fancy way!) And of course thank you for letting me borrow your fascinator, I felt so glamorous. Never again will I question you telling me something will look good and me thinking ‘she’s nuts’ lol. Love you!

    Oh my goodness these are amazing! For some reason, this recipe feels so “English” to me. Like I would love these little cucumber appetizers with my afternoon tea :). I am such a sucker for easy recipes so I know this one will be a favorite of mine… simple, yet impressive in presentation and taste! And that 30th birthday party theme of yours? Done. Happening. Can’t wait for mine. Great recipe!
