Ingredients

  • 1 cup labneh homemade or store-bought
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped dill
  • 3 tablespoons chopped basil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil as needed
  • ½ English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 8 slices soft white sandwich bread crusts removed

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the labneh, chopped parsley, dill, and basil. Season lightly with kosher salt and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Arrange the bread slices on a clean work surface. Spread a generous, even layer of the labneh mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Arrange the cucumber slices evenly over half of the bread slices, slightly overlapping them to ensure full coverage.
  • Top the cucumber-covered slices with the remaining bread slices to form four full sandwiches. Press gently to secure.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into four equal portions, such as triangles or rectangles.
  • Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten free, substitute the white sandwich bread with a certified gluten-free sandwich bread. Ensure the labneh and all seasonings are labeled gluten free, as some dairy products may contain additives with gluten.
