Ingredients

Scale

For the cucumber filling

  • 1 cup diced English cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as dill and chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For assembly

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

Instructions

  1. Place the diced cucumber in a medium bowl and sprinkle it with the salt. Stir gently so the salt coats the cucumber pieces evenly. Let the cucumber rest for about 10 minutes so it can release some of its excess water.
  2. While the cucumber sits, make the creamy filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, chopped herbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture looks smooth, creamy, and evenly blended.
  3. After the cucumber has rested, drain off any liquid that collected in the bowl. Spread the cucumber out onto a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and pat it dry as much as possible. Removing extra moisture helps keep the sandwich from turning soggy.
  4. Add the dried cucumber pieces to the yogurt mixture. Stir until the cucumber is fully coated and the filling looks evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  5. Toast the bread if you want extra structure, then let it cool slightly before building the sandwiches. Place a layer of alfalfa sprouts onto two slices of bread. Spoon the cucumber mixture over the sprouts, then add a thin slice of red onion on top of each sandwich.
  6. Close each sandwich with the remaining bread slices. Press gently so everything stays in place, then cut the sandwiches in half for easier serving.
  7. Serve the sandwiches right away for the best crunch and freshest flavor. The cool cucumber filling, creamy yogurt base, and crisp herbs taste best as soon as they are assembled.
