Ingredients:

• 2 cucumbers
• 2 packages cream cheese
• 1 bunch chives
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• Salt
• Sliced white or wheat bread

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:

   • Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise.
   • Remove the seeds and generously sprinkle salt into the cavities.
   • Place the cucumbers on a rack over a glass dish, cover, and let them drain overnight.

2. Process the Cucumbers:

   • The next day, rinse the cucumbers to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels.
   • Chop the cucumbers roughly and transfer them to a food processor.
   • Pulse for about 10 seconds until finely chopped.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add them to the food processor with chopped chives and parsley.
   • Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches:

   • Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of each slice of bread. A 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cutter works beautifully.
   • Spread the cucumber-cream cheese filling evenly on each bread slice.
   • Optionally, trim the crusts off for a more refined look.

5. Chill and Serve:

   • Arrange the sandwiches in layers, separating each with waxed paper, in an airtight container.
   • Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and sandwiches to set.
   • Before serving, garnish each sandwich with a small sprig of fresh parsley for a decorative touch.

These Southern Belle Cucumber Sandwiches are best enjoyed chilled, making them perfect for elegant gatherings like showers and teas. Serve alongside a selection of teas or sparkling beverages for a delightful experience.
