Ingredients

Scale

Cucumber Salad Filling

  • 1 cup chopped English cucumber
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat plain strained yogurt (Greek-style)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or mint), chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • ½ cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted if desired
  • 2 thin slices red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped English cucumber with salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then gently squeeze to remove any water. Add the low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Prepare the bread: Toast the whole-grain bread slices lightly if desired to add crunch and warmth to the sandwich.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the cucumber salad mixture evenly over two slices of the bread. Top with alfalfa sprouts and thin slices of red onion. Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
  4. Serve: Cut the sandwich in half if preferred, and serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute low-fat plain yogurt with regular Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • If fresh herbs are unavailable, dried herbs can be used but use sparingly as they have a stronger flavor.
  • For extra crunch, consider adding thinly sliced radishes or cucumber peel.
  • Whole-grain bread can be replaced with gluten-free bread for dietary needs.
  • Serve sandwiches chilled for a refreshing taste especially during warmer months.
