How to Keep Cucumber Sandwiches from Getting Soggy

Cucumbers are full of water, so pulling out some of that water before you assemble the sandwiches will help keep the bread from getting soggy. Start by placing the sliced cucumbers in a fine mesh strainer, sprinkle them with salt, then set the strainer over a bowl. As the cucumbers sit, the salt will draw out the excess water from the cucumbers and the water will drain into the bowl.
