Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 0.5 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
Instructions
Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin semi-circles. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to make the spread.
Lay the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the yogurt-feta mixture on one side of each bread slice.
Top two of the bread slices with a single layer of cucumber slices, and add a few spinach leaves on top of the cucumber.
Complete the sandwich by placing the remaining bread slices, spread side down, onto the cucumber and spinach layers.
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately for best freshness.
