Ingredients

Scale

Spread Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chives or green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
  • 8 slices of white bread, crusts removed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herb spread: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped chives, dill, parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth, flavorful spread.
  2. Spread bread slices: Take two slices of the white bread and evenly spread the prepared herb cream cheese mixture over each slice, covering the entire surface.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Lay the peeled and sliced cucumbers over one slice of the bread with spread. Then place the second slice of bread on top, spread side down, to form the sandwich.
  4. Cut and serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally in half to create triangle shapes. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute cream cheese and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives.
  • Adding a sprinkle of black pepper on cucumber slices can enhance the flavor further.
  • Try using whole grain or rye bread for a healthier twist.
  • The sandwiches are best served fresh to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
