Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber unpeeled and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature (227 grams)
  • 1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise (56.5 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 green onion sliced thin, one inch into the green
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • dash black pepper
  • 8 slices white bread

Instructions

  • Toss the sliced cucumber with the salt in a large colander. Place the colander on a plate. Let it sit for 20 minutes. This will pull excess moisture out of the cucumber. Pat the cucumber dry with paper towels.

  • In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese and the mayonnaise. I like to do this with a handheld mixer. Then stir in the dill, green onion, lemon juice, lemon zest salt, and pepper.

  • Place the bread out on a clean work surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture on each of the 8 slices. Add the prepared cucumber to 4 of the slices. Top those slices with the 4 remaining slices of bread.

  • Working carefully with a serrated knife, cut the crust off of the 4 prepared sandwiches. Then cut the sandwiches into 4 pieces each. I like to cut them at an angle twice to make 4 triangles. Serve and enjoy!
