Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 1 English cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cucumber: wash and peel the cucumber, then slice it into very thin rounds. Lay the slices on a paper towel, sprinkle with a pinch of salt to draw out excess moisture, and set aside for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined. Add the fresh dill and fresh mint leaves, finely chopped, along with the salt and black pepper. Stir until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of whole wheat bread.
Step 4
Gently pat the cucumber slices dry with another paper towel. Place a layer of cucumber slices over the cream cheese spread on four of the bread slices, arranging them so they slightly overlap.
Step 5
Top each cucumber-covered slice with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts from each sandwich to create neat edges.
Step 7
Cut each sandwich into four triangles or rectangles, as desired.
Step 8
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap if preparing in advance to prevent them from drying out.
