Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒
Here’s what you’ll need to make these essential cucumber sandwiches:
Loaf of Bread – white or whole wheat, it depends on your taste.
1 Fresh Cucumber — Sliced into wafer thin rounds.
½ Cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing – This is the star of the recipe!
4 oz Cream Cheese – I used soft cream cheese for the best consistency.
Dill, fresh — for garnish and flavor.
Optional Add-ins – A pinch of cracked black pepper to add zing.
How to do it, step by step 🧑🍳
Step 1: Make the Creamy Ranch Spread 🥣
In a large mixing bowl add softened cream cheese, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.
Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy and spreadable. Pro Tip: If the cream cheese is a little too firm to blend easily, leave it out at room temperature for 15 minutes first.
The Process: Step 2: Make the Pickles 🥒
Rinse the cucumber very well with cold water.
Slice the cucumber into thin, uniform rounds using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer.
Top Tip: Make those sliced as thin and uniform as possible for a lovely sandwich — a mandolin slicer is your best friend!
Step 3: Make the Sandwiches 🥪
Spread the creamy ranch-cream cheese spread on each slice of your bread.
Evenly layer sliced cucumbers over the bread in a single layer.
Add a drizzle of fresh dill or a few cracked black pepper for extra flavor.
Step 4 — Slice into Finger Sandwiches ✂️
Put another slice of bread on top of the cucumber layer. Gently press down on them to help the layers adhere.
For that classic look, use a sharp knife to trim off the crusts.
Cut the sandwiches into rectangles or triangles so they are easy to serve.
Step 5: Chill and Serve ❄️
Either wrap the prepared sandwiches in plastic wrap, or set them on a tray, covered with a damp paper towel.
Refrigerate at least 15 minutes. This step ensures the sandwiches are light and stay beautifully intact.
Chill, and enjoy every creamy, crispy bite!
