INGREDIENT NOTES:

Bread:

  • Choose low-point bread so that the sandwich will become light WW WW-friendly. White or whole grains will also be nice.

Cream Cheese:

  • Plant-based/fat-free cream cheese will load you with a creamy vessel but it will not contain the extra calories. It is very heavy with filling and light.

Mayonnaise:

  • A small amount increases flavor and richness. Light mayo may be used to reduce the points, or may not be used at all.

Cucumber:

  • When cucumbers are thinly sliced, it is much easier to layer them. Dry them up using paper towels so that the bread would not be left to be soggy.

Herbs:

  • Fresh dill is the all-time flavor of cucumber sandwich. You may vary and change a bit to put in some chives or parsley to it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Once cleaned, thinly slice the flesh of the cucumber.
  2. Dry the slices with a piece of paper towel.
