Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 8 tablespoons Low sodium cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. You can use a mandolin for uniform slices if you have one.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium cream cheese with the lemon juice and freshly chopped dill until well combined.
Lightly spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of whole wheat bread.
Arrange the cucumber slices over half of the prepared bread slices, overlapping slightly to cover the bread surface.
Sprinkle black pepper over the cucumber slices to taste.
Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Gently press sandwiches together and use a sharp knife to cut off crusts, if desired, then cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles for serving.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to keep the sandwiches fresh.
