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 whole-wheat bread holds everything together with hearty flavor and texture.

Ingredients

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
2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
⅓ cup thinly sliced english cucumber

Directions

Stir 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon dill and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. Top 1 slice with ⅓ cup 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.
