Easy Cucumber Sandwiches
In my opinion, simple classic dishes are synonymous with absolute culinary indulgence. After all, classic recipes are the base for modern masterpieces, and sandwiches are one of the best examples of dishes from both worlds. Prioritizing a good healthy meal everyday of the week is not easy, that’s when sandwiches come to your rescue. Enter simple plant based sandwiches. These sandwiches are a great way to balance your healthy dose of vegetable intake suppressing your craving for unhealthy fats and sugar. Plus, they are easy to assemble and are loaded with the green goodness of cucumbers.
Key Ingredients In Cucumber Sandwiches
Cucumbers – English cucumbers are perfect in this recipe, however, you can use your favorite variety. The cucumbers are cut into very thin rounds to achieve the right texture and taste. Cream cheese – You will need to use a spread to prevent soggy bread. Butter is a great substitute. Dill – The combination of cream cheese and dill leaves is unbeatable. Bread – White, wholemeal, or even whole wheat English muffin. Remove crusts. I prefer white bread as it creates a stunning contrast with the green cucumbers.
How To Make Classic Cucumber Sandwiches
Prep bread – Whether you use white, wholemeal or multigrain bread, remove the crusts. Prep cucumbers – You can use peeled or unpeeled cucumbers in this recipe. Cut them into thin slices, approximately 1/8-inch thick rounds. Make the cream cheese mixture – Mix whipped or spreadable cream cheese, the secret hidden deliciousness, with chopped dill leaves. Assemble the sandwiches – The bread slices get a thin layer of cream cheese mixture on one side, and they are topped with cucumber slices. Top with another bread, and you have no-cook sandwiches for any time of the day.
