Cucumber tahini sandwich for the evening snack cravings. Recipe inside

Monsoon evenings deserve snacks to be enjoyed with friends. Often in the evenings, we get sudden cravings to munch on snacks. Going out and relishing on street food is an option, but with the rain pouring on the plans of going outside, it is best to stay at home and enjoy the process of making snacks with loved ones and then relishing them with family and friends while watching the rain outside. This is also a hack to have tasty and healthy snacks at home. Sometimes snacks can be a little unhealthy for the body with the amount of oil and spices used in them. We have a fix for the same. What about having cucumber tahini sandwich at home that is extremely easy to make, tasty to have and is light on the body, all the while adding nutrients to the diet?

We have curated a super easy and tasty recipe of preparing cucumber tahini sandwich at home that you can enjoy with your loved ones with the sound of the pouring rain outside adding background music to a perfect evening.
