Veggie and Cream Cheese Sandwiches are a delightful and healthy option for a quick lunch or snack. Packed with crunchy vegetables, smooth cream cheese, and fresh herbs, these sandwiches offer a satisfying blend of flavors and textures in every bite.

Ingredients

  1. 8 slices whole grain bread (or your choice of bread)
    4 oz cream cheese, softened
    1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
    1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
    1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
    1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    1/2 avocado, sliced
    1/4 cup mixed greens or spinach
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with fresh dill or parsley. Mix well.

  1. Spread an even layer of the herb-infused cream cheese onto one side of each slice of bread.
  2. On 4 of the bread slices, layer the cucumber, shredded carrot, red onion, avocado slices, and mixed greens.
  3. Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form the sandwiches.
  4. Slice the sandwiches in half, serve immediately, or wrap them up for later.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Add more veggies: Try adding bell peppers, tomato slices, or sprouts for additional flavor and crunch.
  • Use flavored cream cheese: Swap plain cream cheese for flavored varieties such as garlic and herb, chive, or sun-dried tomato.
  • Make it spicy: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Use a different bread: Try whole wheat, rye, or even a gluten-free bread option for a different taste and texture.
  • Add protein: For an extra protein boost, you can add hummus, hard-boiled eggs, or grilled chicken to the sandwich.
