- Step 1
In a mini-processor (or if multiplying the recipe, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade), blend together the goat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sumac and mix together.
- Step 2
Spread half the cheese mixture on one slice of the bread. Sprinkle with dill. Top with a layer of thinly sliced celery. Top the celery with a layer of cucumber slices. Season if desired with salt and pepper and sprinkle on more dill. Spread the remaining cheese over the top slice of bread and sprinkle the walnuts over the cream so that they stick. Reverse the top slice onto the cucumber layer, press the sandwich gently (not too hard or the cream will ooze out), cut in half and serve.
Tip

A pet peeve of mine is when a recipe is presented, but the beautiful photo of the finished dish does not match the recipe. There seems to be lox on this sandwich, yet there is no lox or anything like it in the recipe. This happens frequently - can't the person making the dish just take a photo of their product to use in the article? It would be more authentic and less misleading.

Well, lox would be a great addition to this, no?
Jean
So cool and refreshing, yet satisfying, with or w/o lox. This encouraged me to play a little bit because I didn't have cottage cheese, but I mixed the tart goat cheese with some cream cheese spread, and some sour cream, all of which are good with cucumbers. I added celery salt. So simple but kind of new, at least to us.
Leah
OK but a bit rich- it was decent with lox. The cheese mixture was also nice on a whole wheat type cracker so it might make a good dip along with maybe some chopped chives
Mitra
Simple, filling and tasty. Added a squeeze of lemon atop. Don't like celery so I left it out, but otherwise included all ingredients (Greek yogurt and dense German bread bc it's what I had) and generally followed the recipe's proportions/added to my eye.

What a delightful sandwich. Was looking for a way to use the last bit of cottage cheese. Happened to have all other ingredients except fresh dill so used dry (look forward to trying again with fresh). Toasted walnuts add very nice dimension, pumpernickel was perfect base. Reminds me a little of sandwiches made by a cousin in Poland for a road trip to the Tatra mountains.

Really tasty, but you want a *very* sturdy bread with it.

I added smoked salmoln on top as shown in the photo. Yummy sandwich. Easy to make!
Denise
Added a little allspice and used lemon zest instead of sumac- lovely. Also included sun dried tomatoes as a topper- yum!

Toasted rye bread and served with black mission figs as accompagnement. Big hit :0)

no need for processor, just mix
