Ingredients: Our recipe celebrates the vibrant flavors of fresh ingredients combined with the creaminess of vegan alternatives. Here’s what you’ll need:
2 oz vegan cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons plain non-dairy yogurt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices soft wheat bread
½ a fresh cucumber, thinly sliced.
Preparation:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened vegan cream cheese, non-dairy yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir until the ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful spread.
Using a silicone spatula or butter knife, evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of soft wheat bread. Ensure that the spread covers the bread surface entirely for a satisfying bite in every bite.
Lay the thinly sliced cucumber over the cream cheese-covered surface of two bread slices. The cucumber adds a refreshing crunch and a burst of freshness to each sandwich.
Carefully place the remaining two bread slices on top of the cucumber layer, creating two sandwich stacks. The creamy spread will act as a delicious glue, holding the sandwiches together.
To finish, cut each sandwich stack into quarters or rectangular “fingers” using a sharp knife. This step not only enhances the presentation but also makes the sandwiches easy to handle and enjoy.
