Cucumber and Tomato Sandwiches are a light, refreshing snack or lunch, featuring crisp cucumber slices, juicy tomatoes, and a creamy spread all nestled between soft bread. Simple yet delicious, this sandwich is perfect for warm weather or anytime you crave a fresh, healthy bite.

Ingredients

  1. 4 slices whole wheat or white bread (or your choice of bread)
    1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
    1 medium tomato, sliced
    2 oz cream cheese or hummus (or your choice of spread)
    Fresh herbs (optional: dill, basil, or parsley)

Start by spreading a thin layer of cream cheese or hummus on one side of each slice of bread.

  1. Layer the cucumber slices evenly over one piece of bread.
  2. Add the tomato slices on top of the cucumber.
  3. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Sprinkle fresh herbs (like dill, basil, or parsley) over the tomato and cucumber for added flavor.
  5. Place the second slice of bread on top, spread side down, to form the sandwich.
  6. Slice the sandwich in half or into quarters for easy serving.
  7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a chilled snack.
