I love mint! Its aroma is just wow and the fresh green color makes me feel cheerful. Mint is a herb used abundantly along coriander in cooking and medicinally is mostly used to aid upset stomach or indigestion. In today's recipe it is paired along with cucumber for an appetizing snack. Cucumber is best known for keeping you hydrated in summer it fights heat both inside and outside provides minerals like magnesium and potassium and both these ingredients mint and cucumber helps you in preventing the risk of cancer.
At my place the afternoons are scorching already before April yet the nights are chilly as in december in this confused weather of half summer n half winter I give myself a summer special treat of Mint Cucumber Sandwiches.
Very easy to put together these sandwiches make a great evening snack you can also have them for breakfast or carry them to your family picnic. I have used white milk bread you can use any variety of bread and if you like you can also toast the bread in a toaster.
Ingredients:
- Bread - 1 loaf
- Cucumber - 1 no
- Mint - 3 sprigs
- Butter - 3 to 4 tbsp
- Lemon - 1 no
- Salt - to taste
- Black pepper powder - to taste
Method:
- For every sandwich take 2 slices of bread and apply a thin layer of butter.
- Arrange the cucumber slices on one of the bread slices in one or two layers.
- Add a layer of fresh mint.
- Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper
- Cover with the other slice.
- Repeat the process to make the remaining sandwiches.
- Remove the crusts and cut diagonally to make two sandwiches. If you wish cut further diagonally to get four finger sandwiches.
