Ingredients

• 12 slices White bread (crusts removed)
• 12 slices Whole wheat bread (crusts removed)
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 cup Cream cheese (softened)
• 8 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Pesto
• 1 teaspoon Mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 large Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping all ingredients. Wash and peel the cucumber, then slice it into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the cream cheese mixture. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, plain yogurt, and chopped fresh dill. Mix well until smooth and spreadable.

Step 3

For the chicken filling, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, pesto, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Lay out the slices of bread and spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture on half of the slices of both white and whole wheat bread.

Step 5

For the cucumber sandwiches, place cucumber slices in a single layer on half of the white bread slices that have been spread with cream cheese. Top with another slice of white bread, cream cheese side down. Press gently to secure.

Step 6

For the smoked salmon sandwiches, layer slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese spread on the whole wheat bread. Top with lettuce leaves, then close with another slice of whole wheat bread, cream cheese side down.

Step 7

For the chicken sandwich variation, spread the chicken mixture on the remaining slices of white bread. Top with another slice of white bread with no spread for balance. Press gently to secure.

Step 8

Use a sharp serrated knife to trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean edge if desired (if not already removed). Cut each sandwich into three even rectangles or two diagonally cut triangles to create finger-sized portions.

Step 9

Arrange the finger sandwiches on a platter, alternating the varieties for a colorful and appealing presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately or cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed the same day.
