Steps:
- Remove the pit from the avocados, and scoop into a food processor along with the lemon juice and salt. Puree until completely smooth, scraping down the sides ith a rubber spatula as necessary.
- Add the cucumber and pulse until cucumber is finely chopped.
- Add the mint and dill and pulse again so combine. You just want them well incorporated into the mid, not pureed.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes or so to let the flavors marry, and then taste for salt and seasonings.
- Arrange the sliced of bread on the counter. Spread the avocado mixture onto all 12 slices.
- Add a single layer of cucumber on 6 of the slices.
- Close each sandwich.
- Use a steak knife to cut off the crusts.
- With a gentle touch (so as not to squish the filling out too much), cut each sandwich into 4 equal pieces, either squares or triangles.
- Serve topped with extra herbs, or lettuce.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, organic cucumbers and mint leaves.
- If you don't have white bread, you can use whole wheat or rye bread.
- You can also use other herbs, such as basil, chives, or dill, in place of the mint.
- If you like a little spice, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
- For a refreshing twist, try using sparkling water instead of regular water in the cucumber mixture.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
