Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 slices whole wheat bread or 2 slices rye bread, thick
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
6 slices cucumbers
2 tablespoons alfalfa sprouts
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal, as they have thin skins and few seeds.
If you don't have time to chill the cucumbers before slicing, you can place them in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to help them cool down.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them stay crispy and delicate.
If you're using a creamy spread, such as cream cheese or avocado, spread it on one side of the bread only. This will help prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
Add some fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, to the spread for extra flavor.
If you're making the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
