If you are looking for a simple, fresh, and slightly sophisticated idea for the summer, these sandwiches with cucumbers and robiola cheese spread are perfect.
They slightly recall the British style of afternoon tea but with a more Mediterranean touch.
The cucumber with its crunchiness and delicately refreshing taste, is the quintessential summer vegetable: low in calories, rich in water, and pleasantly thirst-quenching. It pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the robiola and is perfect in any salad.
They are light, creamy, very easy to prepare, and require no cooking: ideal when it’s hot and you don’t want to turn anything on. Also great for appetizers, buffets, or picnics!

Ingredients
- 4 slices white sandwich bread

- 1/2 lemon (juice only)
- to taste chives
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Tools
- Knives

- Spoons

Steps
I start this quick recipe by peeling the cucumber, then finely slicing it with a peeler or mandoline, and putting it in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon.
Then I let it rest for 5/10 minutes.
Spread the robiola cheese spread on the slices of bread. Slightly squeeze the cucumbers and place them on top.
Close with another slice of bread, press lightly, and cut into triangles or rectangles.Meanwhile, in a bowl, I soften the robiola cheese with a spoon, adding a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper, and a few pieces of chives that are divine!
I cut the whole slice of bread into 3 squares then into triangles and wrap everything with plastic wrap to keep these simple cucumber sandwiches soft and tender.
Super easy and definitely light!
Bon appétit and happy cooking! Annalisa
Unfortunately, even using a serrated knife, the slice came out with ridges…or maybe that’s why it turned out to be a mess??
