  2. In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, lemon peel, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. After 10 minutes, drain and pat the cucumber dry with a kitchen towel. Fold the cucumber into the yogurt mixture.
  4. On slices of whole-grain bread, layer alfalfa sprouts first, then spread the cucumber-yogurt mixture, top with red onion slices, and cap with another slice of bread.
  5. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately for a refreshing meal.
