Cucumber Sandwich Recipe with Hidden Valley Ranch: The Perfect Tea Time Treat

Cucumber sandwiches have been a classic English tea time treat for centuries. Simple yet elegant, they are the perfect addition to any tea party or summer picnic. And if you're looking to take your cucumber sandwich game to the next level, why not try adding a dollop of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing? Here's our recipe for the perfect cucumber sandwich with a delicious twist.

Ingredients:8 slices of white bread
1 large cucumber
1/2 cup of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by peeling the cucumber and slicing it into thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out any excess moisture.


2. While the cucumber is resting, take your slices of white bread and remove the crusts. Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slightly to make it easier to work with.


3. Spread a generous layer of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing over one side of each slice of bread.


4. Once the cucumber has rested, pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess salt and moisture. Arrange the cucumber slices on four of the slices of bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.


5. Season the cucumber with a little black pepper and any fresh herbs you might like, such as dill or chives.


6. Take the remaining slices of bread and place them on top of the cucumber to create four sandwiches.


7. Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich into four triangles, or leave them whole if you prefer.


8. Serve your delicious cucumber sandwiches immediately or wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat.

The addition of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing to this classic recipe adds a delicious creaminess that perfectly complements the cool crunch of the cucumber. And with its blend of herbs and spices, it also brings a subtle zing of flavour that will have your guests coming back for more.
