Cuke & Radish Sandwich with Lemon-Herb Goat Cheese Spread
ingredients:
For the sandwich:
1/2 an English cucumber (or 1 medium sized regular cucumber, peeled), sliced very thinly
3 radishes, sliced very thinly
2-3 cups of fresh baby spinach, torn
1 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 T red wine vinegar
salad and pepper to taste
Bread/buns for 4 small sandwiches
For the spread:
1/3 cup soft goat cheese (chevre)
1 T greek yogurt
1 T chopped fresh chives
1 tsp lemon zest
directions:
In a medium bowl combine the cucumber & radish slices as well as the torn spinach. Drizzle the olive oil and the vinegar over top and sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly (hands are good), then set aside for about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the spread in a small bowl. Toast the bread.
To assemble, spread some of the goat cheese on to slices of bread and place a generous amount of the cucumber-radish mixture between them.
Makes 4 small-ish sandwiches. (If you use the Sandwich Thins. You might want to make more of the salad and spread if your sandwiches are larger.)
Nat's Notes:
1. A mandolin slicer is excellent for slicing the cukes and radishes very thin. I had one for two days while I made this sandwich and decided I didn't like the quality of the mandolin so I returned it.
