Slice the whole grain sandwich rolls open horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through, and lay them flat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese evenly on the inside of each sandwich roll.
Rinse the arugula leaves and pat dry. Set aside.
Slice the tomato into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thin rounds.
Thinly slice the red onion. You will only need about 1/4 of a small red onion for both sandwiches.
Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.
Top the prosciutto with a generous layer of arugula leaves on each sandwich.
Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the arugula.
Add cucumber slices evenly to each sandwich, following with a few rings of sliced red onion.
Drizzle each sandwich with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the vegetables on both sandwiches.
Close each sandwich by folding the tops of the rolls over the filled halves.
Cut each sandwich on a diagonal, if desired, and serve immediately.
