- 1 small cucumber
- 1/2 cup sprouts, tightly packed
Directions:
Cut each slice of bread into quarters. Divide almond butter among quarters, spreading to the edges. Slice cherry tomatoes thinly; discard ends and divide slices among four quarters. Peel cucumber; then use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to slice it lengthwise into long, wide, very thin strips, discarding slices that are small or filled with too many seeds. Pile these long, thin cucumber “ribbons” on top of tomatoes. Pile on sprouts, top finger sandwiches with remaining bread quarters, and serve.
