The salt draws out excess moisture, helping prevent soggy sandwiches.
After resting, gently blot both sides of the cucumber slices with fresh paper towels.
Don’t skip this step! It makes a noticeable difference in the finished sandwiches.

Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
