Description

Place the cucumber slices in a colander set in the sink. Pour the vinegar and 2 teaspoons of the salt over them. Drain for at least 20 minutes, then remove the cucumber slices from the colander and pat dry.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the cream cheese, butter, garlic, green onions, lemon juice, lemon zest, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and dill. Process until the mixture is smooth.

Cut the bread slices with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place the rounds in an airtight zipper bag until ready to assemble sandwiches.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bread slices. Top with cucumber slices and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill. Serve immediately.
