1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then peel it.
2. Slice the cucumber thinly using a sharp knife or a mandolin for even slices.
3. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, fresh dill, salt, and white pepper. Mix until evenly combined and smooth.
4. Lay out the slices of bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
5. Place cucumber slices evenly on half of the bread slices, overlapping slightly to cover the entire surface.
6. Sprinkle chopped chives over the cucumber slices.
7. Top the cucumber-laden slices with the remaining bread slices to make sandwiches.
8. Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches.
9. Cut each sandwich into four triangles or fingers, depending on your preference.
10. Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel until ready to serve to keep the bread moist.
