Cucumber Sandwich with Cream Cheese and Ranch
These cucumber sandwiches are easy, affordable, and always popular—especially during spring and summer. I’ve been making this version with cream cheese, ranch seasoning, dill, and thinly sliced English cucumber on soft white bread for years. They're perfect for baby showers, luncheons, or just as a light, refreshing snack.

Calories: 98Kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning the dry seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh
- 2 English cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 loaf white sandwich bread crusts removed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, and dill. Stir or mix until smooth. A hand mixer does this quickly and easily!
- Lay out your slices of white bread. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice.
- Top half of the bread slices with thin cucumber rounds. Then place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
- Trim the crusts from each sandwich. Cut each sandwich into quarters (or halves).
- Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. If chilling, let them sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving
Notes
Tips for Success
- Use English cucumbers—they’re less watery and don’t require seeding.
- Soft white bread works best for this style of sandwich.
-
Don’t skip the mayo—it helps make the spread smooth and easier to apply
When to Serve These
These are a great option for:- Afternoon teas or brunches
- Bridal or baby showers
- Mother’s Day or Easter gatherings
- Garden parties or light summer lunches
- Or just because you like them (especially when it's hot outside)!
