Summer Sandwich

I am always on the lookout for light and healthy recipes.  When I ran across this one on the Whole Foods website I knew it would be a hit with the family.  It is delicious...

Cucumber sandwich with Strawberries and Watercress

Serves 4

When summer fruits are at their sweetest, peaches make a worthy substitution for the strawberries in this recipe.

Ingredients

8 large strawberries
4 ounces (8 tablespoons) Neufchâtel, softened
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
1 bunch watercress, long stems trimmed
8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread

Method

Chop 4 of the strawberries and slice the remaining 4. In a large bowl, mash chopped strawberries with a fork. Add Neufchâtel, mint and zest and mix until well combined.

Spread strawberry mixture evenly between slices of bread. Arrange cucumbers, sliced berries and watercress over half of the slices. Top with remaining slices to form sandwiches, then cut in half and serve.
