Cucumber Sandwiches

cucumber sandwiches are a classic for a ladies’ lunch or tea. My version

is bread-free, but just as tasty!

1 log (4 ounces, or 112 g) goat

cheese

1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced

into ¼-inch (6 mm) slices (you will

need 24 slices)

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup (25 g) watercress, roughly

chopped

3 red radishes, thinly sliced
