These easy cucumber salad sandwiches are nutritious, refreshing, and quick to assemble. Made with Greek yogurt and fresh cucumber, this healthy cucumber sandwich recipe is perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt (Fage is great for this recipe)
- 1 cup diced English cucumber
- 1 tbsp chopped herbs (fresh dill and chives work well)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp grated lemon peel
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 thin slices red onion
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumbers: In a medium bowl, stir together the diced cucumber and a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Make the Yogurt Mixture: While the cucumber rests, whisk together the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, herbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Cucumbers with Yogurt: After 10 minutes, drain the cucumber and pat dry using a paper towel. Add them to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lay two slices of bread on a flat surface. Divide the sprouts between them. Spread the cucumber salad mixture over the sprouts, then top with red onion slices. Cap with the remaining slices of bread.
- Serve: Cut each sandwich in half and enjoy immediately while fresh and crispy.
