Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 pieces English Cucumbers Crisp and mild.
  • 1 cup Yogurt Greek yogurt preferred.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese Can substitute with goat cheese or omit for dairy-free.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs e.g., dill, parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Lime works as an alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Can substitute with green onions.
For Assembly
  • 4 slices Bread Whole grain or white, toasted optional.
  • 1 cup Sprouts e.g., alfalfa, can substitute with lettuce.

Equipment

  • Colander
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the English cucumbers into small, bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit in a colander for about 15 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the drained cucumbers into the yogurt-feta mixture until well-coated.
  4. Prepare your bread by lightly toasting it. Layer sprouts on one slice, then spoon a generous cucumber salad portion on top, followed by red onion slices. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
