Instructions
- Slice or dice the cucumber and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the cucumber lightly with salt and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.

- Stir until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Fold the cucumbers into the creamy dressing.
- Taste and adjust with more dill, pepper, lemon juice, or salt if needed.

Notes
Salt and dry the cucumbers before mixing so the sandwiches do not get soggy. Assemble close to serving time for the best texture.
