Growing up my dad was the king of snack time. Everyday when I got home off the bus my dad would have a huge snack laid out for my brother and I. We always referred to them as "picking platters", and they were always nicely arranged with crackers, granny smith apples, cheddar cheese (the sharper the better), and my personal favorite, pepperoni. I'm pretty sure that pepperoni was actually the number one source of protein in my life for about three years. But it's delicious, so why not?
Ever since we moved I've been wanting to turn over a new leaf with my eating habits and make more fresh, delicious foods for me and my family to eat. When I headed out to Walmart to stock up our completely empty kitchen (which was by far the most I've ever spent on groceries in my entire life), I made sure that I snagged some of my favorite Hormel Pepperoni, and some other yummy fixings, to make one of my new favorite things to eat.
These cucumber sandwiches are so light and refreshing, and are sure to make anyone's taste buds sing! I love the cold freshness that the cucumber gives, and then the the chewy spiciness of the pepperoni... it's a winning combination my friends... a winning combination. These would be perfect for the upcoming bridal and baby shower season. These little sandwiches are light and refreshing and would be the perfect addition to any spring get together.
Ingredients:
1 package Hormel Pepperoni
1 cucumber
Vegetable Cream Cheese
Turkey
Directions:
Wash and slice the the cucumber and then spread a thin a layer of cream cheese on one side. Then layer a small piece of turkey, two slices of pepperoni, another thin layer of the vegetable cream cheese, and then top it off with one more slice of cucumber. Serve cold.
YUMMMMMM! I'm so going to make this snack! I wish I had it in front of me right now so I could eat it! How nice that your dad had snacks waiting for you after school!
