Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Lay the slices of gluten-free bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice.
Arrange the cucumber slices neatly on top of half the bread slices, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the cucumber slices to taste.
Top each cucumber-covered slice with another slice of prepared bread, cream cheese side down.
Gently press down on each sandwich to secure the layers together.

Cut each sandwich into four triangles for a dainty appearance.
