Ingredients

- Whole grain or sourdough bread
- Fresh Herbs (Dill and Chives)
- Lemon Juice
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumbers: Start by washing your cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. If you prefer a less watery sandwich, you can sprinkle the slices with a bit of salt and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting them dry with a paper towel.
- Make the Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine your cream cheese, chopped fresh herbs (dill and chives), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Take your bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice. Layer the cucumber slices evenly over half of the slices, then top with the remaining slices to create sandwiches.
- Cut and Serve: For a fun presentation, cut the sandwiches into quarters or triangles. You can also use cookie cutters to create fun shapes for kids or parties.
