Ingredients:

Serving

1 large seedless cucumber
125 g unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp orange zest, grated
8 slices firm white bread, thin slices, crusts removed
8 slices firm whole wheat bread, thin slices, crusts removed
fresh mint sprig, to garnish
thin orange slice, to garnish

Directions:

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.
