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.
Ingreadient
- 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
