Start by washing the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrot under cold water.
Peel and cut the cucumber into thin slices.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin strips or grate it, based on your preference.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped fresh dill. Mix until well blended.
Lay out the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
Layer two slices of cucumber on four of the bread slices. Then add red bell pepper strips and carrot strips over the cucumber.
Top the vegetables with a leaf of butter lettuce on each of the same four bread slices.
Close each sandwich by covering the vegetable-topped slices with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into four equal triangles to create mini sandwiches.
Arrange the mini sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately.
