Radish & Strawberry Tea Sandwiches
A quick pickle of the radishes along with folding in some strawberries will coax kids to give radishes a try in these sweet and delicate tea sandwiches. Make it a tea party by pairing the teas sandwiches with lemonade in fancy glasses garnished with any leftover strawberries.
8 Servings (2 tea sandwiches per serving)
You Will Need:
- juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
- 8 large slices whole grain bread, edges removed
- ⅓ cup cream cheese
Make It:
-
In a medium bowl whisk together juice, honey and salt until honey dissolves. Toss with radishes until thoroughly coated and transfer to refrigerator for 10 minutes.
-
Drain radishes and toss in strawberries.
-
Evenly divide and spread cream cheese on slices of bread. Cut each slice into 2 triangles and layer with radish mixture to create open faced tea sandwiches. If desired garnish with minced fresh mint or parsley.
Kids in the Kitchen: Rather than cutting the bread into triangles, have your kids use cookie cutters to create fun shapes as the base of their tea sandwiches. Kids can also spread the cream cheese and layer on the radish mixture.
