Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh dill or chives (optional, for extra flavor)

 

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chopped fresh dill or chives if you like.

2. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread.

3. Arrange thin cucumber slices evenly over half of the bread slices.

4. Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to make sandwiches.

5. For a classic touch, cut off the crusts and slice each sandwich into triangles or small squares.

6. Serve immediately or chill briefly for a refreshing treat.
