Ingredients

• 8 slices whole grain bread slices
• 200 grams vegan cream cheese
• 1 large cucumber
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegan margarine

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cucumber. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into very thin rounds, preferably using a mandoline slicer for uniformity. Set the slices aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, finely chopped fresh dill, and chives. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the spread is smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of vegan margarine on one side of each bread slice. This will help prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Step 4

Turn the bread over and spread a generous layer of the herb-infused vegan cream cheese mixture on the un-buttered side of half the bread slices.

Step 5

Layer the cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese spread on each slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface, slightly overlapping the slices if necessary.

Step 6

Place the remaining slices of bread, margarine side down, on top of the cucumber slices to form sandwiches.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut off the crusts carefully for a classic tea sandwich presentation, then cut each sandwich into quarters for serving.

Step 8

Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy these refreshing vegan cucumber sandwiches as a light meal or with afternoon tea.
