Ingredients

• 8 slices Soft white or whole wheat bread
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Carrots, shredded
• 3 small Radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. This will create a barrier to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Step 3

On four of the buttered slices, evenly spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4

Layer the cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and radish slices on top of the cream cheese spread. Ensure even distribution so every bite is flavorful.

Step 5

Cover each vegetable-laden slice with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing inward.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich for an elegant presentation.

Step 7

Cut each sandwich into quarters, either in squares or triangles, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
