Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (130 g) English cucumber, diced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped (dill and chives recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread
  • 2 thin slices red onion
  • 1/2 cup (12 g) alfalfa sprouts

Instructions

  1. Draw Moisture from Cucumbers: In a medium bowl, mix the diced cucumber with salt. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to be released.
  2. Prepare Herb Yogurt Base: Meanwhile, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped herbs, lemon juice, lemon peel, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  3. Combine and Dress Cucumbers: After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and spread them on a paper towel. Pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible, then fold the cucumbers into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Build the Sandwiches: Place two slices of whole-grain bread on a clean surface. Divide alfalfa sprouts evenly over the bread, then spread the cucumber-yogurt mixture on top. Add a slice of red onion per sandwich and close with the remaining bread slices. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
  5. Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately to enjoy freshness and optimal texture.
