Cranberry-Walnut Ham Salad Tea Sandwiches
Serves: 16
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped ham
- ½ cup sweetened dried cranberries, chopped
- ⅓ cup finely chopped celery
- ¼ cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 16 thin-cut slices whole grain bread
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together ham, cranberries, celery, and walnuts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and seasoned salt. Add to ham mixture, stirring well to combine. Spread ¼ cup ham mixture onto each of 8 bread slices. Top each with a remaining bread slice to make 8 whole sandwiches.
- Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich diagonally to make 2 triangles. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate for a few hours until serving time.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Ham salad can be made up to 3 days in advance, covered tightly, and refrigerated until needed.
