Ingredients
Spread
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Sandwich
2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
⅓ cup thinly sliced English cucumber
Instructions
Prepare Spread: In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, low-fat plain Greek yogurt, sliced fresh chives, chopped fresh dill, and ground pepper until well blended and smooth.
Assemble Sandwich: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Add Cucumber: Place the thinly sliced English cucumber evenly over one slice of the bread, on top of the spread.
Close Sandwich: Top with the second slice of bread, cream cheese-side down, to complete the sandwich.
Trim and Cut: Cut the crusts off the sandwich, then slice it diagonally in half before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
Use fresh herbs like chives and dill for the best flavor.
Thinly slice cucumbers to avoid soggy sandwiches.
Whole-wheat bread adds fiber and nutrients; feel free to use gluten-free bread if needed.
Serve immediately for optimal freshness or chill briefly before serving.
