Cute Cucumber Sandwiches!

I was struggling with trying to figure out something tasty for lunch and craving a sandwich but had no gluten-free bread at work. I work in a cafe/canteen and have a wide variety of food to chose from when it comes to inventing something for lunch.

So, here is a deliciously light lunch or snack for my vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meat-eating friends(everyone)!

Ingredients:

1 thick, firm cucumber
Your choice of sauce(mayo, cheesewiz, hummus, ect)
Your choice of filling(tuna, veggies, cheese, lean sliced meats)

Wash and slice the cucumber into 1/2 inch round slices, leaving the peel on so that it stays firm. Spread your choice of sauce, if using, on half of the cucumbers and top with your filling, Place the other half of the cucumbers ontop of the ones with filling, to create a sandwich. Serve chilled.

This is such a fun, easy lunch that takes minutes to make and the possibilities are endless. Why not try slicing the cucumber lengthwise to make longer sandwiches? Or use zucchini instead, or maybe even a firm apple slice with peanutbutter inside?

You don't even have to put the tops on the sandwiches, you could do an open sandwich and get more out of the cucumber, great for parties or snack night!

I would love to hear some of the variations you use! Cute Cucumber Sandwiches away!
