Cucumber Sandwich with Cotija & Lime

This easy vegetarian cucumber sandwich draws flavor inspiration from elote, the Mexican street corn dish. Instead of corn, we flavor cucumber slices with cotija cheese, lime and cilantro for a tasty filling. Cotija—a salty, crumbly Mexican cheese—is similar in flavor and texture to feta cheese, which can be used as a substitute. Arugula adds a peppery flavor, but any tender greens will work well here.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons low-fat plain strained yogurt, such as greek-style
  • 1 ½ tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 multigrain sandwich thin, split and lightly toasted
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced english cucumber
  • ¼ cup arugula or mixed salad greens
