Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slices of whole grain or white bread

Radish or microgreens for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber. Cut off the ends and slice it into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated and smooth.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the slices of bread and cut off the crusts, if desired. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on four of the slices. Top each with a layer of cucumber slices, arranging them neatly.

        Create the Sandwich Bites: Place the other four slices of bread on top of the cucumber-covered slices to create sandwiches. Press down gently.

          Cut into Bites: Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into quarters or diagonal halves to create bite-sized pieces.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish each mini sandwich with a small piece of radish or a sprinkle of microgreens for added color and freshness. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
