Olive-Cucumber Finger Sandwiches

“Along with a refreshing beverage, I served these attractive hors d'oeuvres to guests at my Garden Party. The crisp cucumbers on these easy-to-fix finger sandwiches get their zip from being marinated for a short time. --Sara Laker Loda, Illinois”

Very good. I served these at a party & they were devoured. I did chop the olives & put them right into the cream cheese.

I made these slightly differently. I left out the olives and mixed all the other ingredients into a spread. I sliced and soaked the cucumbers as directed. To make the sandwiches, I spread the cream cheese mixture on both pieces of bread, layered the cucumbers in the middle, and sprinkled paprika. I sliced the sandwiches diagonally for little triangles. I took them to a potluck and everyone raved! They ate every last one! Try them this way if you're going to a casual event like a picnic or barbeque.

These are wonderful! I made them for a school function (after my husband told me that no one would eat cucumber sandwiches!) and they were gone within minutes! The only change I made was to chop up the olives in a food processor and mix them into the cream cheese mixture. They were easier to transport this way. These are the best cucumber sandwiches I've ever had!

I have been making these for about 2 years now. I am asked to bring these to every gathering I go to. I think they are ok, but my friend love them. So simple! I don't do the olive topping but still yummy. THank You Sara.

This is my new favorite sandwich. I did not marinate the cucumber and added more worchestershire, garlic powder and onion salt to the cream cheese and mayo. I used both potato bread and sourdough... both were equally delish!

Made these for the opening night of a play my mother directed. I used a sliced baguette that I toasted lightly in the oven. It went over huge, one of the few appetizers on the table that completely disappeared.

Awesome! I did 2/3 apple cider vinegar and 1/3 white vinegar, but went exactly by recipe for the rest. Thanks for this easy delicious recipe.

Great recipe! Only changes I made were I used sourdough cocktail bread and celery salt instead of onion salt- they were a hit at a Mojito party! Also, the cocktail bread held up well after I made these the morning of the party.

I recently made these for a bridal shower and they were a big hit. As a variation, I chopped the olives and put them between the spread and cucumber (so the olives wouldn't fall out). I also used regular white bread (not thin sliced) and it was great! I made yummy sandwiches for myself with the leftover marinated cucumbers after the party was over!
