Ingredients
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- ⅓ cup dill chopped
- 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
- 16 lices sandwich bread
Instructions
- Place the feta, walnuts, and olive oil in the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until the cheese mixture is creamy.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a bowl and add the chopped dill. Mix using a spoon.
- Thinly slice the cucumbers using a chef's knife or mandoline.
- Spread a generous layer of the feta mixture onto each slice of the sandwich bread. Arrange the cucumbers on 8 bread slices and have them overlap slightly.
- Top the cucumbers with the remaining 8 slices of bread and press gently to have the cucumbers stick to the cheese. You should have 8 cucumber sandwiches.
- Remove the crusts of the sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches into triangles or squares and arrange on a plate.

Notes
- Salt cucumber slices and drain before assembling if making sandwiches ahead to keep them crisp and prevent sogginess.
- Apply the feta spread liberally on bread slices to create a barrier that keeps cucumbers from making the bread soggy.
- Consider adding lemon zest, black pepper, or microgreens for extra flavor and freshness.
