Ingredients
1 cup diced English cucumber
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped herbs (dill, parsley, or mint)
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted as preferred
2 thin slices red onion
Instructions
- Place the diced cucumber in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently blot excess moisture with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cucumber, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, herbs, lemon peel, lemon juice, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Toast bread slices to your desired level.
- Spread the cucumber mixture evenly over two slices of bread.
- Top with alfalfa sprouts and red onion slices.
- Place remaining bread slices on top and cut sandwiches in half. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt for a richer flavor.
Add tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
Make dairy-free by using plant-based yogurt and vegan feta.
Toast bread well to help prevent sogginess.
Prepare cucumber mixture up to 1 day ahead and store in fridge.
