Tea Cucmber Sandwiches

You might be able to tell by my last few posts that I am hosting a Ladie's Afternoon Tea. So, I am documenting a few recipes I have found that will likely be making an appearance on my menu. I'm so excited!
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
  • dash Worcestershire
  • 1 loaf sliced, firm-textured bread, crusts removed
  • dash of paprika
Score the sides of the cucumber with a fork. Just run a fork over the sides, slightly puncturing the skin. Slice the cucumbers to your desired thickness. In a bowl pour in the vinegar and the water. Place the cucumber slices in the bowl and let them sit for 30 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion salt, and the Worcestershire. Mix well.

Drain the cucumber slices by placing them between two paper towels.

Put the spread on the slices of bread. Place the cucumber slices on the bread. Top with a dash of paprika.
