Ingredients

Scale

Salad 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 fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or mint)
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sandwich Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Stir together the diced cucumber and salt in a medium bowl, then let it sit for about 10 minutes. This process helps draw out excess moisture from the cucumbers, ensuring your sandwich filling is not soggy.
  2. Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, grated lemon peel, fresh lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined to create a flavorful and creamy base for your salad.
  3. Combine Cucumbers with Yogurt Mixture: After the cucumbers have rested, drain them thoroughly and spread out on a paper towel. Pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible, then add the cucumbers to the yogurt mixture and stir until fully coated.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay two slices of toasted whole-grain bread on a clean surface. Distribute alfalfa sprouts evenly on the bread, then spread the cucumber salad mixture over the sprouts. Add a slice of red onion on each sandwich and top with the remaining bread slices. Cut the sandwiches in half to serve.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your fresh cucumber salad sandwiches immediately to experience the combination of crisp cucumbers, creamy yogurt mixture, fresh herbs, and the zesty lemon flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use English cucumbers as they have fewer seeds and thinner skin.
  • The salt draws moisture from the cucumber; be sure to pat dry thoroughly to avoid soggy sandwiches.
  • You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Feel free to add other fresh herbs according to preference, such as chives or basil.
  • Toast the bread lightly to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
