Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 8 tablespoons Low sodium cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. You can use a mandolin for uniform slices if you have one.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium cream cheese with the lemon juice and freshly chopped dill until well combined.
Step 3
Lightly spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of whole wheat bread.
Step 4
Arrange the cucumber slices over half of the prepared bread slices, overlapping slightly to cover the bread surface.
Step 5
Sprinkle black pepper over the cucumber slices to taste.
Step 6
Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Step 7
Gently press sandwiches together and use a sharp knife to cut off crusts, if desired, then cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles for serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to keep the sandwiches fresh.
