Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix whipped cream cheese and dry Italian-style dressing mix. Spread equal portions of the mixture on slices of the cocktail rye bread. Top each with a slice of cucumber.

Steps:

• Spread one side of each slice of bread with a thin layer of butter. Arrange a single layer of cucumber slices on 4 of the bread slices. Stir together the mayonnaise, chives, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture over the cucumbers. Top with the remaining slices of buttered bread. Cut off the crusts and cut each sandwich into three fingers.

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthways, and slice crossways as thinly as possible.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter and orange zest and stir until the mixture is creamy and the ingredients are well-blended.
• Spread each slice of white bread with the butter mixture, arrange several slices of cucumber on each slice and top with the whole-wheat bread, and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
• To serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, alternating white and brown sides of the sandwiches and garnish with mint sprigs and orange slices.
• On cucumbers: Of course traditionally the cucumber is peeled, but to modern tastes, many cucumbers available - such as Lebanese or continental, just those names alone would be enough to have Lady Bracknell turning in her grave! - really don't need peeling.

Steps:

• Spread butter on insides of both slices of bread for each sandwich, to taste. Usually a thin layer will suffice.
• Place cucumber slices in a single layer on bottom slice of buttered bread for each sandwich, covering entire slice.
• Put sandwiches together and remove crusts with knife. Some cucumber peel will come off too and that is the desired result.
• Cut sandwiches into triangles.

Steps:

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on the top of each slice of bread.
• Trim the ends of the cucumber and scrape off the skin and cut the cucumber into thin slices. Arrange the cucumber slices on 4 of the slices of bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
• Cut away the crusts of each sandwich. Cut each sandwich lengthwise in half.

Steps:
