• Remove the pit from the avocados, and scoop into a food processor along with the lemon juice and salt. Puree until completely smooth, scraping down the sides ith a rubber spatula as necessary.
• Add the cucumber and pulse until cucumber is finely chopped.
• Add the mint and dill and pulse again so combine. You just want them well incorporated into the mid, not pureed.
• Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes or so to let the flavors marry, and then taste for salt and seasonings.

• Add a single layer of cucumber on 6 of the slices.

• Serve topped with extra herbs, or lettuce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Lay the slices of bread on your work service and distribute the cream cheese evenly among each slice, spreading into a thin layer. Arrange the cucumber slices in rows over 3 slices of the bread. Top with the remaining bread, and cut into quarters so there are 4 pieces from each sandwich. Serve immediately.
