Easy Tea Party Sandwiches Recipe

Ingredients:

Wholegrain Bread (You can also use white bread as per your preference)
Vegetables: Choose veggies that don’t release too much water to avoid soggy sandwiches. Recommended options include carrots, purple cabbage, beets, bell peppers, and spinach.
Spread: Low-fat Greek yogurt (with all its whey removed to prevent sogginess)
Herbs (Optional): Basil, mint, dill, or any Italian seasonings to enhance flavor

Instructions:

Preparing the Ingredients

Remove Whey from Yogurt: If you're using Greek yogurt, ensure to strain it well to remove the whey. This can be done by placing the yogurt in a cheesecloth or a strainer for at least 2 hours.
Shred the Vegetables: Shred your choice of veggies into thin slices or pieces.
Prepare the Green Spread: Make a green avocado cilantro chutney or any green dressing that's thick enough to be spreadable. You can adjust this according to what you have available or prefer.

Assembly

Start by preparing your workspace with your ingredients: strained yogurt, prepped veggies, and green spread.
Mix Yogurt with Veggies: In separate bowls, mix the strained yogurt with the carrots and purple cabbage respectively. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spread Layers on Bread: Take four slices of bread for each sandwich. Spread one layer with the carrot mixture, another with the purple cabbage mixture, and a third one with the green chutney.
Stack and Cut: Stack the slices on top of each other and cut the sandwich diagonally to create two sandwiches. For smaller, bite-size pieces, you can cut each half again diagonally.

Tips:

Make-Ahead: These sandwiches can be made up to a day ahead. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. To prevent drying, cover with wax paper and a damp paper towel. Remove the cover just before serving.
Preventing Sogginess: Using strained yogurt and choosing the right vegetables are key. Avoid veggies like cucumbers or zucchinis unless the sandwiches will be consumed immediately.

Serving Suggestions

Serve on a platter or plate and enjoy. These sandwiches are perfect for breakfast, snack, or packed lunches. Pair them with air fryer apple chips, plantain chips, or sugar-free almond & date bars for a complete meal.

This easy-to-make, versatile recipe ensures you can enjoy elegant, healthy tea party sandwiches that cater to both taste and nutrition.
