Cucumber and Bell Pepper Sandwich

Today is the last day of National Afternoon Tea Month. However, you can appreciate eating a cucumber sandwich with hot tea any time of the year. Make afternoon tea a tradition in your home or your work. It also makes your break time more enjoyable with a mini vegetable sandwich as a snack to go with your tea. There are a variety of ways to make finger food sandwiches. 

You can use salmon, tuna, shrimp, bacon, ham, eggs, and vegetables. However, today’s sandwich snack is made of cucumbers and bell peppers. You can cut the crust of the bread if you want to. After making your sandwich, select your hot tea or make iced tea. Although National Tea Day was on April 21st, you can enjoy drinking hot tea today and any time of the month.

Finger food sandwiches go well with bubble tea. Bubble tea became popular in the 1980s because of the tapioca boba that was added to iced tea with milk and sugar. You can celebrate National Bubble Tea Day on April 30th which is celebrated every year. Bubble tea is also called Boba tea. No matter what tea you drink, decide on what type of sandwich you want to make.

Before making your sandwich, select your sandwich spread. You can choose cream cheese, guacamole, mustard, mayonnaise, or dips depending on the type of sandwich. Decide on what type of bread you want to use such as wheat bread, rye bread, rustic bread, croissants, white bread, honey wheat bread, multigrain bread, or another type of bread. Last, you can garnish your sandwich with olives, mint leaves, watercress, or with black pepper. Here is the recipe for making this cucumber sandwich.
