Wash the cucumber thoroughly and use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice it into thin, even rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and evenly combined.
Lay out the whole wheat sandwich bread slices on a clean surface. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
Arrange cucumber slices in a single layer on half of the bread slices, slightly overlapping if needed.
Place the remaining bread slices cream cheese-side down onto the cucumber layer, forming sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich for a clean, neat edge (optional).
Cut each sandwich into quarters, either into squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
