    Slice the cucumber and salt it, leave it an hour and drain the water from it, that way you don't get soggy sandwiches.

    Stretch it further and reduce your calories/carbs - Take a rolling pin and roll out each slice of bread till they are at least half the size. Then make your sandwiches - much finer dining, and less cals/carbs too!

    For the wow factor, add some fresh, finely chopped mint to the soft cheese...
