Ingredients:

  • 8 slices (approx. 200g) white bread
  • 1 English cucumber (approx. 300g), thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp (60ml) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (8g) fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Lay them in a single layer on paper towels and sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp (3g) of salt. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then firmly pat the tops with another paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper, and chopped dill. Stir until the mixture is velvety and cohesive.
  3. Spread a generous, even layer of the spread onto each slice of bread, ensuring coverage reaches the very edges to create a moisture barrier.
  4. Layer the patted-dry cucumber slices in an overlapping shingle pattern on the bread. Top with the second slice of bread and press down gently.
  5. Use a serrated knife to slice off the crusts and cut the sandwiches diagonally into triangles or into three vertical fingers.
