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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
