Cucumber Sandwich

This creamy, crunchy cucumber sandwich recipe strikes a lovely balance between decadent and light. The cream cheese-yogurt spread complements the crisp refreshing cucumber, while the hearty flavor and texture of the whole-wheat bread hold everything together.

Ingredients

1. 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

2. 1 tablespoon low-fat plain Greek yogurt

3. 1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives

4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

5. ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

6. 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread

7. ⅓ cup thinly sliced English cucumber

Directions

Stir cream cheese, yogurt, chives, dill and pepper together in a small bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. Top 1 slice with cucumber slices, then top with the other bread slice, cream cheese-side down. Cut the crusts from the sandwich and cut it in half diagonally.
