Ingredients

  • 2 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and stir together until mixed.
  • Use a silicone spatula or butter knife to divide the cream cheese mixture into four equal sections. Spread a section of cream cheese mix across the surface of each slice of bread so that all four slices have cream cheese mix on one side. Lay cucumber slices over the cheesy surface of two of the slices of bread and cover with the remaining slices so that the cucumber layer has cream cheese on both sides. Cut the sandwich into quarters or “fingers (rectangles) and serve.
