This creamy, crunchy cucumber sandwich recipe strikes a lovely balance between decadent and light. The cream cheese–yogurt spread complements the crisp refreshing cucumber, while the whole-wheat bread holds everything together with hearty flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon low-fat plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced english cucumber
Directions
- Stir 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon dill and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. Top 1 slice with ⅓ cup cucumber slices, then top with the other bread slice, cream cheese-side down. Cut the crusts from the sandwich and cut it in half diagonally.
