Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.
