CUCUMBER SANDWICH. HEALTH BENEFITS OF CUCMBER.

the cool vegetarian day

cucumber sandwich recipe

trying out health tips, like eating fruits and veggies only for a day,

i have decided to instead, have a vegetarian diet once a week.

Feels fine, light and easy to prepare and lighter , easier for the tummy.

very simple ingredients

1 medium size cucumber

14 pieces sandwich bread slices

7 tbsp finely minced fresh mint leaves... love this

Some nutmeg powder, salt, pepper and paprika

Unsalted butter for spread

Hazelnut butter / peanut butter for spread- if you are a health freak, use the organic variety

the cool way to prepare 

Mix butter with mint leaves, nutmeg powder, salt, pepper and paprika.

Slice cucumber slightly thicker than thin for a crunchy taste and dab with paper towels to dry.. or sandwich between two paper towels.

Slice off bread crust for a cool look

Spread butter mix on 7 pieces of bread for base of sandwich.

Arrange cucumber slices on bread

Spread hazelnut butter for remaining 7 pieces of bread and place on cucumber, as sandwich top

THE COOL LOOK

Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into four making  squares, for a cool look

Arrange sandwiches at random on a white plate for an even cooler look

Ensure your thumb and middle finger handles this delicately and enjoy the cooling effect of cucumber and mint…..

you never know how delicious and crunchy this healthy treat is…

JUST FANTASTIC FOR A LIGHT VEGETARIAN MEAL
