Curried Ham Salad Tea Sandwiches
Makes 6
Ingredients
- ¾ cup finely chopped ham
- 1 large boiled egg, minced
- 3 tablespoons minced celery
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced dill pickle
- ¾ teaspoon curry powder
- 6 slices white bread
- Garnish: celery leaves
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together ham, egg, celery, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, and curry powder until well combined. Divide ham salad among 3 bread slices and cover with remaining 3 bread slices to make 3 whole sandwiches.
- Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half to make 6 rectangular sandwiches. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate until serving time.
- Just before serving, garnish with celery leaves, if desired.
