Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dill weed, fresh and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 5 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced
- 100 grams Smoked salmon (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it thinly into discs about 1/4 inch thick. You can choose to peel the cucumber fully or partially, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the herbs are evenly distributed and the cream cheese is smooth.
If using, lay out the smoked salmon in bite-sized pieces.
To assemble the sandwiches, take one cucumber slice and spread about a teaspoon of the herb cream cheese mixture on it. Place a few thin slices of radish on top.
If desired, add a small piece of smoked salmon, then cover with another cucumber slice to form a sandwich.
Repeat the process until all cucumber slices are used.
Arrange the cucumber sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately.
For best results, prepare and serve the sandwiches fresh to maintain the crunch of the cucumbers.
