Dainty cucumber tea sandwiches are a staple on Afternoon Tea menus. Usually, they are just butter/cream cheese with cucumber slices between bread. So simple but so good; there is something magical about the combination of fluffy white bread, creamy filling, and crisp, crunchy cucumber slices. Another easy one to veganize, these vegan cucumber sandwiches are made with Daiya Jalapeno Garlic Havarti Wedge. Want another tea sandwich recipe? Try these smoked pinwheels.
