Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dill weed, fresh and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 5 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced

Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it thinly into discs about 1/4 inch thick. You can choose to peel the cucumber fully or partially, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the herbs are evenly distributed and the cream cheese is smooth.
Step 3
If using, lay out the smoked salmon in bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
To assemble the sandwiches, take one cucumber slice and spread about a teaspoon of the herb cream cheese mixture on it. Place a few thin slices of radish on top.
Step 5
If desired, add a small piece of smoked salmon, then cover with another cucumber slice to form a sandwich.
Step 6
Repeat the process until all cucumber slices are used.
Step 7
Arrange the cucumber sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately.
Step 8
For best results, prepare and serve the sandwiches fresh to maintain the crunch of the cucumbers.
