Notes
- You can use white or whole wheat sandwich bread to make this recipe.
- English cucumber and Persian cucumber work best for these sandwiches because they are not seedy.
- Dill adds a lot of flavor to these tea sandwiches, you can also use other herbs such as parsley, green onions, mint or basil.
- If you're planning to make these tea sandwiches ahead of time, salt the cucumbers and place them in a colander over a large bowl. Let them sit for 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water and dry them using a kitchen towel. Then use them to make the cucumber sandwiches.
- Store the leftovers on a plate, cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. If you have extra feta cheese spread, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
