A simple cucumber sandwich was one of my Dad’s favorite summer treats. This wasn’t a dainty sandwich typically served at tea parties as an appetizer, but a hearty manly sandwich with substance.

He would slowly peel the cucumbers, slice them lengthwise, spread mayonnaise (had to be Hellman’s) then liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then he would share with me. The middle of the sandwich was my favorite. I didn’t like the crust.
My garden yielded in great abundance this year and when I didn’t make pickles I was eating cucumber sandwiches.

I love a good food memory!!!
Yum, must remember to make these. We’re already on our second jar of pickles. They’re crunchie, sweet and refreshing. Thanks again for the recipe.
Hmmm…must go to the frig now and get some pickles! LOL
I have never experienced a cucumber sandwich, but I have certainly enjoyed my fair share of tomato sandwiches! Yum!
Nope, not a fan of tomato sandwiches, picked tomatoes as a kid on a vegetable farm. Don’t like them raw too much. I’m even surprised I grow them at all, but I love them in stewed tomatoes and salsa.
