Vegan Cucumber Sandwiches with Herbed Spread

Ingredients:

• Bread: Soft white or whole grain sandwich bread (crusts optional)
• Cucumber: 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• Vegan cream cheese: ~1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)
• Fresh herbs: Dill, chives, parsley (finely chopped – about 2 tbsp total)
• Garlic powder: 1/4 tsp (optional)
• Salt & pepper: To taste
• Lemon juice: 1 tsp (optional, for a tangy kick)

Instructions:

1. Make the Herbed Spread
   In a small bowl, mix:
   • Vegan cream cheese
   • Chopped fresh herbs
   • Garlic powder (if using)
   • Lemon juice
   • Salt and pepper to taste
2. Prepare the Bread
   • Lightly toast or keep the bread soft (your preference).
   • Spread a generous amount of the herbed cream cheese on one or both slices.
3. Add Cucumber
   • Lay out thin, overlapping slices of cucumber evenly across the bread.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
   • Place the second slice of bread on top.
   • Press gently and cut into halves or quarters, depending on serving style.

✅ Tips:

• For extra crunch, you can add a layer of lettuce or thin radish slices.
• Chill the sandwiches for 15 minutes before serving for a cool, crisp texture.
• Great for tea time, light lunches, or picnics.
