Ingredients
  

8 slices of whole grain bread

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

6-8 radishes, thinly sliced

4 ounces cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese), softened

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

A sprinkle of paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Herb Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly mixed.

    Toast the Bread (optional): If you prefer a toasted sandwich, lightly toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the herb cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread.

        Layer the Vegetables: On half of the slices, begin layering the cucumber slices evenly, followed by a layer of radish slices.

          Top It Off: Place the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, on top of the layered vegetables to create sandwiches.

            Cut & Serve: Cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters (or halves for larger bites) and arrange them on a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle a bit of paprika on top for extra flavor and presentation.

              Chill (optional): For an even fresher taste, cover the sandwiches with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes before serving.
