Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole grain or multigrain bread
  • 2–3 tbsp cream cheese, hummus, or Greek yogurt (plain or herbed)
  • 1/3 cup English or Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh dill or chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • Optional: small handful of arugula, baby spinach, or microgreens

Instructions

  1. Spread cream cheese, hummus, or Greek yogurt evenly on both slices of bread.

  3. Layer cucumber slices evenly over one slice of bread. Add greens or microgreens if desired.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread and press gently to secure.
  5. Trim crusts if desired and slice the sandwich in half or quarters. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use English or Persian cucumbers for best texture and less moisture.
  • Pat cucumbers dry before layering to avoid sogginess.
  • Herbed cream cheese or flavored hummus adds extra flavor.
  • Add turkey, egg, or avocado for more protein and variety.
  • Use gluten-free bread or wraps for a gluten-free option.
