Ingredients

• 1 large Fresh cucumber
• 6 medium Fresh strawberries
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 4 slices Thin white bread slices
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber and strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife and lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin, even slices.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and spreadable.

Step 5

Trim the crusts from the white bread slices to create clean edges, then cut each slice into four equal squares or rectangles.

Step 6

Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each bread square.

Step 7

Layer two cucumber slices on half of the bread squares and two strawberry slices on the other half.

Step 8

Stack one cucumber-topped bread square onto a strawberry-topped square to form a delicate layered sandwich.

Step 9

Garnish each tea slice with a small mint leaf on top for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
