Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup of olives, sliced
- Fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the cucumber and tomato into thin rounds and set them aside. Also, slice the olives if they are not pre-sliced.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a fork to mash and mix them together until you achieve a creamy spread. This will be the base for your sandwich.
- Take the four slices of whole grain bread and lay them out on a clean surface or plate. You can choose to toast the bread lightly if you prefer a bit of crunch, but this is optional.
- Spread a generous amount of the feta and yogurt mixture onto two of the slices of bread, ensuring even coverage to enjoy the flavor in every bite.
- On top of the feta spread, layer the cucumber slices evenly across the bread. Follow this by adding the tomato slices, arranging them nicely for an appealing presentation.
- Next, add the sliced olives on top of the tomatoes, distributing them evenly to enhance the sandwich with their briny flavor.
- Finally, place the remaining two slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches. If desired, you can press down gently to help the layers stick together.
- For a finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh dill on top of each sandwich for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Greek Vegetable Sandwich with Feta Spread!
Tips
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients—they make all the difference in Mediterranean cooking.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the bread to add a subtle crunch and enhance the overall texture.
- If possible, use fresh dill just picked or purchased, as it provides a more vibrant taste.
- For a creamier spread, let the feta and yogurt mixture sit for 5-10 minutes before spreading to allow flavors to meld.
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes and cucumbers for the best taste and texture.
- Consider adding a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an authentic Greek touch.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the sandwich at its freshest and most flavorful state.
