Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices White bread, crusts removed
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin, even rounds. Place the slices on a paper towel and lightly sprinkle them with a pinch of salt to draw out excess moisture. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes, then blot them gently with another paper towel.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mint. Add the herbs to the mashed avocado along with the cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients form a smooth, creamy spread.
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spread the avocado and herb mixture evenly over each slice, ensuring good coverage all the way to the edges.
Place an even layer of cucumber slices on half the slices of bread. Top each covered slice with a second slice of bread to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the crusts (if not already removed) and cut each sandwich into quarters, either as rectangles or triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to prevent the avocado spread from browning. Enjoy!
