Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cucumber Salad Sandwiches
  1. Begin by dicing the English cucumbers into small, bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the diced cucumbers and toss gently to mix. Place them in a colander and let them sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. While the cucumbers are draining, combine the yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, fresh herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  3. After 15 minutes, take the colander with the cucumbers and give them a gentle shake to remove any accumulated liquid. Use a clean paper towel to pat the cucumbers dry.
  4. Carefully fold the dried cucumbers into the prepared yogurt mixture using a spatula. Gently mix until all cucumber pieces are well coated.
  5. Take your toasted bread slices and spread a generous portion of the cucumber salad mixture onto one slice. Layer some crunchy sprouts and onion slices if desired, then top with another slice of toasted bread.
  6. Cut each sandwich in half for easier handling. Serve your Cucumber Salad Sandwiches right away.

Notes

Always salt cucumbers ahead of time and let them drain for best results. Toasting bread enhances flavor and supports structure. The filling can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance.
