Cucumber Sandwich
Description
This recipe combines cream cheese and Greek yogurt blended with lemon juice and fresh dill to create a bright, herby spread. Black pepper adds mild warmth, complementing the creamy base. Thin cucumber slices add crispness and moisture between toasted slices of whole wheat bread, which provide a nutty base with subtle crunch.
Prepared sandwiches can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 24 hours, making them convenient for quick meals or snacks. Removing the crusts and cutting the sandwich into smaller squares refines presentation and makes them easy to eat finger foods.
The fresh ingredients and light flavors make these sandwiches suitable for lunch, tea, or light refreshment. Storage in an airtight container helps maintain freshness and texture when prepared ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese low fat
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dill minced, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 lices whole wheat sandwich bread
- 1 small or ½ big cucumber thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill and black pepper.
- Lightly toast the bread. Spread the mixture on all of the bread slices. Lay the cucumber slices over the cream cheese mixture, and top with the remaining bread slices.
- Remove the crust, if desired, and cut each sandwich into four smaller squares. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours
Notes
- Store sandwiches in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 24 hours to maintain freshness.
