Easy Cucumber Sandwiches with Cream Cheese are kid friendly and the perfect little sandwich for little fingers or an afternoon tea party. This post is sponsored by Produce for Kids for the Power Your Lunch Box Pledge.

cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese

Some kids enjoy ham and cheese sandwiches, some enjoy peanut butter and jelly, my kid? She loves Cucumber Sandwiches with Cream Cheese! I’ve never been a fan of peanut butter and jelly, so naturally, it wasn’t something I made for our daughter.

I love a good homemade peanut butter or natural store-bought peanut butter, so that may be why I never liked the sugar-filled creamy stuff that my parents bought when I was growing up.

My kiddo declares this recipe as the best cucumber sandwiches! She loves the bite size pieces and it fits perfectly in her lunchox for school. I’ve also used some of the cucumbers from our cucumber salad for this sandwich before, so good!

If you don’t like cream cheese you could also use avocado, guacamole, ranch dressing, or even mix ranch dressing with the cream cheese for a flavored cream cheese. She likes her cucumber sandwiches plain and simple.
