Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

12 slices of rye bread (or whole wheat bread)

Optional toppings: radish slices, cherry tomato halves, microgreens

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber. Slice it thinly into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, and set aside.

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay down 6 slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.

        Add Cucumber Slices: Place cucumber slices evenly on top of the spread, slightly overlapping them. If desired, add a sprinkle of salt over the cucumbers for extra flavor.

          Top and Cut: Place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top to create sandwiches. Gently press down to compact them slightly.

            Cut Into Bites: Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into quarters or bite-sized pieces. You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes!

              Garnish (Optional): If using, place a slice of radish, a half cherry tomato, or a sprinkle of microgreens on top of each sandwich bite for an appealing garnish.

                Serve: Arrange the mini cucumber sandwich bites on a platter and enjoy as a refreshing appetizer or snack!
