Ingredients

  • 1 whole sesame seed bun
  • 2 oz feta cheese
  • ¼ medium cucumber
  • ½ medium tomato
  • ½ cup arugula
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 sesame seed bun in half horizontally. Toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the 0.25 cucumber and 0.5 tomato into rounds. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to keep the sandwich from getting soggy.

  3. 3

    Crumble the 2 oz feta cheese into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork. Drizzle with the 1 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with the 0.25 tsp black pepper, mixing to combine.

  4. 4

    Spread the seasoned feta mixture evenly over the bottom half of the toasted bun.

  5. 5

    Layer the cucumber and tomato slices over the feta, then top with the 0.5 cup arugula.

  6. 6

    Place the top bun over the filling and press gently. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly for a packed lunch.
