Elevate your sandwich game with Cream Cheese Sandwich Variation No. 6, a quick and healthy recipe perfect for busy lunches or elegant tea parties. This creamy, herb-packed delight features a luscious spread made from tangy cream cheese, fresh dill, and a hint of Dijon mustard, perfectly paired with crisp cucumber slices, shredded carrot, and crunchy lettuce. Served between whole grain bread lightly spread with butter for added texture and protection against sogginess, this no-cook recipe is ready in just 15 minutes and makes four beautifully fresh servings. Ideal for those seeking a veggie-packed sandwich with layers of flavor, this recipe is as nutritious as it is satisfying.
Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Grate the carrot using a coarse grater. Set both aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread to prevent it from becoming soggy.
On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture.
Top the cream cheese layer with a lettuce leaf, a few slices of cucumber, and a small handful of grated carrot.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outward, to complete the sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally or into halves as preferred and serve immediately.
