Cucumber, Cream Cheese, Sprout and Grainy Mustard Sandwiches
Simple, light, fresh, and healthy, this sandwich is going to fill you up without weighing you down. Nothing beats crunchy cucumber and sprouts paired with smooth cream cheese and zingy mustard on hearty whole grain bread. I like to add thinly sliced sweet onion to the mix, but it's strictly optional. This is my kind of lunch!
Ingredients
Per Sandwich:
- 2 slices whole grain seedy bread
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon or more whole grain Dijon mustard to taste
- 1/4 of a seedless cucumber a.k.a. English
- 1/2 cup alfalfa zesty or broccoli sprouts
- coarse salt to taste
- Optional:
- thinly sliced sweet onion to taste
Instructions
- Spread one slice of bread with the softened cream cheese. Spread the mustard over the other slice of bread. Arrange the sliced onions, if using, over the cream cheese, then the cucumbers, sprinkle lightly with coarse salt, then top with the sprouts and the remaining slice of bread, mustard side down. Gently press the sandwich and slice in half.
- Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
