Ingredients:
- 1 English Cucumber (approx. 1 lb / 450g), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp (6g) Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (120g) Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp (8g) Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Cracked black pepper
- 8 slices White Pullman loaf or sourdough bread (crusts removed)
Instructions:
- Slice the cucumber into rounds about 1/8-inch thick.
- Lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or plate and sprinkle evenly with the Kosher salt.
- Let the cucumbers sit for 5–10 minutes until beads of water form on the surface.
- Pat every slice thoroughly with paper towels until they are completely dry to the touch.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Stir until the mixture is velvety and the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Lay out the crustless bread slices and spread a generous, even layer of the herb mixture from edge to edge on each slice.
- Layer the dried cucumber slices tightly across the bread, overlapping them slightly.
- Top with a second slice of bread and press down gently.
- Cut the sandwiches into four equal fingers or triangles using a sharp serrated knife.
