Cucumber Sandwiches
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Use fresh cucumbers, and remember to taste them, especially if the vegetables are field-grown. The type of bread is not that important; you can make the sandwiches with white bread, rye, or Borodinsky—the main thing is that you like how the dish tastes. Buy good-quality butter, not spread. If you like, sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh herbs, for example green onion. The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.
