Ingredients
  

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

8 slices of whole grain bread (or your preferred type)

2 tbsp butter, softened (optional, for spreading)

Lettuce leaves for layering (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.

    Prepare the Bread: If you prefer your sandwiches with a buttery taste, spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This step is optional but adds a nice flavor.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese-dill mixture. Top with a layer of thin cucumber slices, evenly distributing them.

        Add Lettuce (Optional): If you are using lettuce, place a few lettuce leaves over the cucumber for extra crunch and freshness.

          Top and Cut: Place the remaining four slices of bread on top, butter side up, and press lightly to secure the fillings. Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwiches into quarters or halves, depending on your preference.

            Serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delightful cold cucumber & dill sandwiches!
