  • Never have I ever thought fresh strawberries would be appetising with cucumber in a sandwich. But I am working to try and be proven wrong as this looks very fresh and summery

  • This recipe is such a refreshing and simple option! I love the combination of cream cheese and lemon zest—it creates a tangy, creamy base that’s perfectly balanced. The Tip Top Thins Wholemeal add a wholesome touch while staying light. The pairing of crisp cucumber slices and sweet strawberries is both unique and delicious, offering a lovely mix of textures and flavors. Finishing it off with the fresh basil adds a fragrant, herby note that ties everything together beautifully. It’s quick to prepare and feels like a gourmet snack that’s perfect for a light meal or entertaining.

  • Now this looks very interesting. Never would I have thought to put strawberry and cucumber together on a sandwich. The only time I’ve had strawberries on a sandwich was in Japan and it was soft white bread with a strawberries and cream filling. So sweet and so delicious. I could see this one being refreshing.

  • Hmm, what an interesting combination of ingredients! I had never thought to put strawberry in my sandwich. I imagine with the cucumber and cream cheese that it would be very refreshing and yummy. I really like sandwich thins because they are so light, they do the job and you don’t need to fill up on bread to have a tasty sandwich.

  • We love our Tip Top Thins for Breakfast, Lunch and snacking during the day. I love the Toppings here and cream cheese is one of our favourites mixed with Dill and topped with Pink Salmon slices. Never any leftovers. We pack our picnic basket with Tip Top Thins and cold meats and toppings from Sandhurst as the family love eating outdoors and exploring.

  • Basil and strawberries really do work well together in a recipe and it is always good to try recipes that are new and different. It really is good for tastebuds to experience new foods and flavours and then to share these recipes with others. Cream cheese makes recipes taste delicious too!

  • This one I’m not sure if I would give this a go. I dont know how basil and strawberries go together. It may be a very nice flavour, Im not so sure Im game enough to give it a try. The cream cheese and strawberries definitely would go. It looks fresh.


    • Basil and strawberries really do go well together and this recipe is quite subtle and a good introduction to eating basil with strawberries. I am a fan of eating strawberries and do like to eat them in as many recipes as possible. Strawberries always go down a treat in this hungry household.

  • If you sprinkle black pepper on your strawberries before you add them to your sandwich, they will have a sweeter and more mellow taste and add flavor to your sandwich thins.
