Step 1

Add your cream cheese, mayo and butter to a stand mixer or a bowl and use a hand mixer. Make sure the butter and the cream cheese is softened so that it whips up light and fluffy. I whip this on high for 3 minutes or so.

Step 2

Using a veggie peeler, mandolin or sharp knife. Slice the cucumber very, thin. Make sure the cucumber is washed and do not peel. I use a veggie peeler to pell very thin slices. I cut the tip off the end of the cucumber and just consistently peel the end into paper thin slices.

Step 3

I use a salad spinner, and add the cucumber slicer to it and a small pinch of salt. Give the cucumbers a toss and let sit for 5 minutes. Then use the salad spinner to remove excess water.

Step 4

If you don’t have a salad spinner, toss the cucumber slices in a bowl with the salt, let sit, then spread out on a paper towel and blot dry with another paper towel.

Step 5

In the cream cheese, butter and mayo whip, add the green onions and the celery salt. Whip for another 2 minutes. Taste and add salt if you think it needs it. Remember the cucumber slices are also slightly salted. The salt also gets stronger as it sits in the recipe. So keep that in mind.

Step 6

I work in batches and spread the bread slices out. I slather both slices for each sandwich. Use a decent amount of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. I don't go totally to the edges as you will be cutting the crusts off these.

Step 7

Use enough cream cheese mixture so that there is a decent layer that will hold your cucumbers and lettuce in place.

Step 8

On one side of the bread slice, layer the cucumber slices, Because they are very thin, I do about 4 layers of the cucumbers. Do as many or as little as you prefer.

Step 9

Lay one piece of butter lettuce on top of the cucumbers, then place the other slice of bread with cream cheese on top. Make sure you match it up pretty closely. Repeat the process until you use up all your cream cheese and cucumbers.

Step 10

I place these all on a tray and loosely cover with plastic wrap and cover about 2 hours. This gives them time to set up.

Step 11

After the two hours, remove from fridge. Slice the crusts off the sandwiches. Then I cut these on the diagonal, you can cut them in halves or fourths.

Step 12

Display on a platter. Sometimes I serve these with pickles on the side for cute presentation.
