Ingredients

1/2 small red onion
4 oz. (reduced-fat) Neufchâtel cream cheese
4 tbsp. butter
1/3 c. crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp. minced fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp. minced fresh chives

2 very ripe plum tomatoes
1/2 medium English (seedless) cucumber
Salt to taste

Instructions

Rinse onion slices beneath cold running water for 30 seconds (to remove sharp onion flavor); drain, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Combine cream cheese, butter, feta, mint, and chives in a bowl; set aside.
Using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut bread slices into rounds. Spread cheese mixture on bread rounds. Place chopped tomatoes on 8 bread rounds. Arrange 2 to 3 overlapping cucumber slices on remaining bread rounds. Sprinkle with salt. Top sandwiches with a small amount of sliced onion and sprouts. Arrange on serving platter.
