Cucumber Bagel Sandwich is easy to make, perfect for lunch, brunch, or dinner.
In the hot days of summer, sandwiches are all we want. No heating up the kitchen. This open-faced tomato and cheese sandwich is one of our favourites. Great with garden fresh tomatoes.
Crisp cucumber, cream cheese, and fresh dill make the perfect bagel sandwich. If you love traditional cucumber tea sandwiches, give this a try.
I love the combination of cream cheese on a bagel. Toasted or not, it is always a hit in our house. One of my favourite breakfasts. I love this deli version of a smoked salmon bagel for dinner with a nice glass of white wine.
Cucumbers are so refreshing. You can enjoy them in so many delicious ways. Cucumber boats are a great appetizer for any party. Another way to enjoy the combination of smoked salmon and cream cheese.
They are the perfect ingredient for salads too. A simple cucumber salad is always a hit at BBQ parties. Did you know you can make cucumber noodles? Such a fun way to enjoy them. The perfect pairing in this elegant smoked salmon salad.
Some people beg to differ that a bagel is a sandwich. I say yes it is. What about you? This recipe would make a great vegetarian sandwich. You could even cut this into quarters and serve it as a cucumber sandwich appetizer.

Suggestions/Recipe Tips
Bagels can be any type you like. Toasted or not, the choice is yours. Of course you can always replace it with 2 slices of bread.
Cream cheese can be any variety. Regular, whipped, low fat or even flavoured. Vegan cream cheese is a great choice too.
Fresh dill is so delicoius. In a pinch you can use dried, but I would mix it into the cream cheese, and also reduce the amount used in the recipe.
Cucumbers of any variety will work. Peel or not, the choice is yours.
You can also use other fresh herbs. Basil would be great. Not into cream cheese? Try goat cheese, whipped feta or ricotta. Mayo is a great substitiute as well.
I hope you give this ultimate cucumber bagel sandwich a try. A deliciously satisfying meal.
