Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preparing the cucumber. I recommend washing it thoroughly and then slicing it thinly – about 1/8 inch thick. The thin slices not only make the sandwiches look beautiful but also allow that fresh cucumber flavor to shine through. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with chopped dill and lemon juice, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. This cream cheese spread is truly a game-changer for these sandwiches!
