Open face cucumber tea sandwiches

Directions

1. 1
   Wash the outside of the cucumber well. With a box grater, shred about half of the cucumber, skin and all.
2. 2
   Place on a layer of paper towels, cover with another paper towel and twist to remove any excess moisture.In a medium bowl mix the cucumber, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onion tops, and salt. Stir well.Allow mixture to sit, covered, in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight for flavors to develop.When you are ready to assemble, cut circles of white bread using a 2" cutter, leaving off the crusts. If you don't have a cutter, an empty prescription bottle is good for cutting circles or you can use a small drinking glass.
3. 3
   Add about a teaspoon of the cucumber mixture to the top of each circle of bread and garnish with very thin slices of cucumber, or a sprinkle of paprika for color.
4. 4
   Serve immediately so the bread doesn't get soggy.
