Ingredients

Scale

Cucumber Salad

  • 1 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or mint)
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel (lemon zest)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted as preferred
  • 2 thin slices red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Stir together the diced cucumber and salt in a medium bowl. Let them stand for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, grated lemon peel, fresh lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix until well incorporated to form a flavorful yogurt base.
  3. Combine Cucumbers with Yogurt Mixture: After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and pat them dry on a paper towel to remove extra moisture. Add the cucumbers to the yogurt mixture and stir thoroughly until coated.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay two slices of toasted bread. Divide the alfalfa sprouts evenly between them, then spread the cucumber salad mixture on top. Add a slice of red onion to each, and top with the remaining bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half to secure.
  5. Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately for the freshest taste. Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and crunchy flavors combined in a healthy and satisfying sandwich.

Notes

  • Patting cucumbers dry after salting is crucial to avoid soggy sandwiches.
  • Choose fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint to enhance flavor.
  • Use whole-grain bread for added fiber and nutrition.
  • Can be made vegetarian with low-fat yogurt and feta cheese.
  • Serve immediately to keep bread crisp and prevent sogginess.
