Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 1 cup (200g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (100g) finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup (50g) finely chopped red onion

- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5g) dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
- Add thinly sliced cucumber, chopped celery, and chopped red onion to the dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

- Divide the cucumber salad mixture evenly among two slices of toasted bread.
- Top with the remaining two slices of bread to form sandwiches.

Notes
- Tip for success: Gently blot thinly sliced cucumber with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and prevent soggy sandwiches.
- Storage: Store the cucumber salad mixture separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble sandwiches just before serving.
- Variations: Add shredded chicken or mashed chickpeas for extra protein, or fresh mint for a flavor twist.
