Nowadays, I feel like having time to rest on weekends isn&#8217;t enough. And I feel like I would like to take time off every other Friday to rest. Of course I can&#8217;t, so I treasure every amount of time I have to do so, and to be able to do what I want. This time, I went cycling with my husband&#8217;s bicycle, and I cycled (for the first time in my life) almost 40km! Have never cycled so much in my life at a go, I think, so this was a rare achievement I made by myself, for myself. Shiok!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So why this recipe on cucumber and herb sandwiches this weekend? It&#8217;s a sandwich that I&#8217;ve tried at a workshop recently as one of its refreshment items. I recall I was sceptical if cucumbers made good sandwiches, and I ended up falling in love with it. I told myself I will give it a try one day so here you go. It&#8217;s very refreshing to bite into and very light and easy to digest. Exactly what I needed this weekend too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plain Greek yogurt: 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>English parsley: few sprigs, finely chopped (3 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>Dill: few sprigs, finely chopped (3 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>Basil leaf: few sprigs, finely chopped (3 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>Salt: \u00bd tsp<\/li>\n<li>Extra virgin olive oil: generous drizzle<\/li>\n<li>Cucumber: 1, thinly sliced, halved<\/li>\n<li>Soft white bread: 8 slices, crust removed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Combine yogurt, parsley, dill, basil leaves, salt, olive oil &amp; cucumber together.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spread cucumber on one slice of bread.
