Oh, we must not forget this traditional cucumber option:
Cucumber Mint Tea Sandwiches:
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Yield: Makes 12 tea sandwiches
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed, spun dry, and chopped fine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 2 tablespoons cream cheese 6 slices of whole-wheat bread a 3-inch length of seedless cucumber, cut into thin slices
In a small bowl combine the mint, the butter, and the cream cheese and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Spread the bread slices with the butter mixture, top 3 of them with the cucumber, distributing the cucumber evenly and seasoning it with salt, and top the cucumber with the remaining bread slices. Cut off and discard the crusts and cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters.
It's such a varied group and I think we likely have a lot of vegetarians. You could do the pear and walnut without the ham and either the cucumber basil or the lavender ham.
