Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber: Cut the large cucumber into thick, even rounds to create the base and top of each sandwich.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture on half of the cucumber slices evenly.
- Top with cucumber slices: Place the remaining cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese-covered slices to form neat sandwiches.
- Chill: Place the assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for a short time to set before serving. This enhances the flavors and keeps them cool.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add thin slices of smoked salmon or avocado inside the sandwich.
- Use full-fat cream cheese to keep the recipe keto-friendly and creamy.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with fresh chives or parsley if preferred.
- Make sure to slice cucumbers evenly for uniform sandwiches.
- These sandwiches are best served chilled and consumed within a day for optimal freshness.
