Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced (about 1 cup slices)
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread
  • ½ avocado sliced (about ½ cup)

Method
 

  1. Add cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy with no visible curds.
  2. Drizzle in olive oil and lemon juice, then blend again until silky and well combined.
  3. Stir in fresh dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed and aromatic.
  4. Lightly toast the whole-grain bread until the edges are golden and slightly crisp while the center remains tender.
  5. Spread a generous layer of the creamy herb mixture onto each slice of bread, covering from edge to edge.
  6. Arrange thin cucumber slices evenly over two slices, slightly overlapping for full coverage and crunch.
  7. Add sliced avocado on top of the cucumbers for extra creaminess and richness.
  8. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices and press gently so the filling settles evenly.
  9. Slice in half and serve immediately while the bread is lightly crisp and the filling cool and creamy.
