Ribbon Tea Sandwiches (Note: This recipe can be viewed for free on our website)

Ribbon Sandwiches have been popular since the 1950s and have never gone out of style. We feature them on our June Wedding Reception Tea menu. They are designed to achieve an appealing visual effect, like a striped ribbon, using contrasting layers of bread and filling. As a result, Ribbon Sandwiches have many creative possibilities. Several varieties of bread would be good choices for Ribbon Sandwiches: white, wheat, dill, or raisin. Select at least two different kinds of bread to alternate with the fillings. It is important to start with whole loaves of the same size of unsliced bread.
