If you’re eating low carb, try these breadless cucumber sandwiches. Served with lots of different fillings and sauces, this idea is perfect for the snack lover.

The other day I had the most delightful little lunch: Cucumber “sandwiches”. Little bites using cucumber slices instead of bread, filled with deli meats, cheese, and various condiments.

Sandwiches without bread.

Totally satisfying and fun to eat.

They’re also low-carb and paleo and Whole30 friendly (if you avoid the cheese).

How To Make Breadless Cucumber Sandwiches

I’ve seen recipes similar to this that use a whole cucumber sliced in half the long way. I don’t know about you, but that seems like a little too much cucumber to eat gracefully.

When you eat a cucumber, do you start eating on one end and finish at the other? I didn’t think so.

You don’t eat a cucumber whole – so why would you eat a cucumber sandwich whole? Slice it up!

Cucumber Sandwich Serving Suggestions

The cucumbers can be stuffed with all sorts of different ingredients:

• Deli ham, turkey or roast beef
• Cheese
• Avocado
• Hummus
• Sprouts
• Pickles
• Cherry tomatoes
• Mayo or whole grain mustard

School lunch: These make a great lunch or snack for kids. They will love mixing and matching toppings to make their own customized sandwiches.

Low-carb sandwiches: Check out these reuben bowls. All the flavor of a reuben sandwich, without the bread!

Party food: Throwing a party and want some healthy food options? Assemble a “make-your-own cucumber sandwich bar”, where guest make their own bites.

Save money: Inventory your fridge and use up bits of leftover cheese, meat, mustard, etc. You may have all the ingredients you need on hand!
