Ingredients
Scale
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup diced English cucumber
- 1 tbsp chopped herbs (dill and chives)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp grated lemon peel
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 thin slices red onion
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
- Stir cucumbers with a pinch of salt and let sit 10 min to draw out excess moisture.
- Mix yogurt, feta, herbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and pepper in a bowl to create the yogurt base.

- Assemble sandwiches: divide sprouts on two slices of bread, spread cucumber mixture, add onion slices, top with remaining bread, and cut in half.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, creamy, and refreshing flavor.
Notes
- For best texture, toast bread and assemble sandwiches just before serving.
- Keep cucumber mixture and bread separate if preparing ahead or packing for lunch.
