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.
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
