These classic cucumber sandwiches offer a refreshing and delectable vegetarian lunch option that can be prepared in mere minutes.

Yield: 2 Sandwiches

2 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons freshly chopped dill
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices of soft wheat bread (I used Wegmans 100% Whole Wheat Bread)
½ a fresh cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, stirring until well blended.
Using a silicone spatula or butter knife, divide the cream cheese mixture into four equal portions. Spread a portion of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread. Place cucumber slices over the cream cheese on two of the bread slices, then top with the remaining slices, ensuring the cucumber layer is encased by cream cheese on both sides.
Cut the sandwiches into quarters or “fingers” (rectangles) and serve.
