🥣 Ingredients

For the Herbed Vegan Spread

  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice for brightness

For the Sandwiches

  • 8 slices soft sandwich bread (white, sourdough, or whole grain)
  • 1–2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • A sprinkle of salt
  • Fresh dill for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Herbed Spread

In a small bowl, mix together the vegan cream cheese, mayo, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using). It should be smooth, creamy, and ultra flavorful.

2️⃣ Prep the Cucumbers

Slice cucumbers into thin, even rounds. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pat dry — this keeps your sandwiches from getting soggy.

3️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Spread a generous layer of the herbed cream cheese onto each slice of bread.
  • Arrange cucumber slices neatly over one side.
  • Add the top slice and gently press down.

4️⃣ Slice & Serve

Cut into halves or tea sandwiches. Garnish with a bit of fresh dill if you’re feeling fancy.

Enjoy immediately for maximum crispness. ✨

🌿 Tips for the Best Vegan Cucumber Sandwiches

  • Use soft, fresh bread — it makes all the difference.
  • Add a thin layer of vegan butter to prevent moisture if making ahead.
  • English cucumbers or mini cucumbers work perfectly for sweetness + crunch.
  • Serve chilled — it enhances the refreshing flavor.
