  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 large English cucumbers, very thinly sliced (10–12 oz)

  • everything bagel seasoning or extra dill, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Method

  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in yogurt (if using), lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat cucumber slices very dry with paper towels.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture over tortillas (or bread). Add cucumber slices and spinach/lettuce if using.

Notes

Moisture Control: Dry cucumbers thoroughly; a lettuce barrier helps for make-ahead.
Light Swap: Replace up to half the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
Add-ins: Thin bell pepper strips, shaved carrot, or crumbled feta for a Mediterranean twist.
Alternate Method: Make tea sandwiches with sandwich bread instead of tortillas.
Equipment: Serrated knife, paper towels, plastic wrap for chilling.
