09 - 4 slices whole-grain bread
10 - 2 thin slices red onion
11 - 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts

# How To Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, toss the diced cucumber with the salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
02 - Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, feta cheese, chopped herbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
03 - After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Add the cucumbers to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly coated.
04 - Lay out the bread slices. Divide the alfalfa sprouts between two slices.
05 - Top the sprouts with the cucumber salad mixture, then add a slice of red onion to each.
06 - Place the remaining bread slices on top. Cut sandwiches in half if desired. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The crunchy cucumbers and creamy yogurt filling create the perfect texture contrast
  • Everything comes together in just fifteen minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • These sandwiches feel fancy enough for a light lunch but casual enough for everyday eating
02 -
  • These sandwiches taste best assembled right before serving because the filling can make bread soggy over time
  • Skip the paper towel step and your sandwich will become watery and disappointing within minutes
03 -
  • Use the sharpest knife you have to slice cucumbers for the cleanest cuts and best texture
  • Let the assembled sandwiches sit for two minutes before cutting so the filling settles
