This herby cucumber and tomato sandwich is crisp and refreshing, making the most out of summer’s produce bounty. Chives add a delicate onion flavor to the cream cheese, but dill or basil can be used in their place.
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided
2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
1/3 cup thinly sliced english cucumber
1 small tomato, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Stir cream cheese, yogurt, chives, dill and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly on 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange cucumber slices and tomato slices in an even layer over the cream cheese mixture on 1 bread slice; sprinkle with salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with the remaining bread slice, cream cheese-side down. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
