Ingredients

• 4 slices Whole grain bread
• 0.5 large Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin semi-circles. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to make the spread.

Step 3

Lay the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the yogurt-feta mixture on one side of each bread slice.

Step 4

Top two of the bread slices with a single layer of cucumber slices, and add a few spinach leaves on top of the cucumber.

Step 5

Complete the sandwich by placing the remaining bread slices, spread side down, onto the cucumber and spinach layers.

Step 6

Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately for best freshness.
