Smoked Salmon & Herb Sandwiches

Ingredients:

250 g cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped

Finely grated zest and juice of ½ lemon

A small pinch of Avohaven Herbalicious Salt, to taste

16 slices wholemeal or seeded sandwich bread

400 g smoked salmon slices (New Zealand cold-smoked if available)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with dill, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Avohaven Herbalicious Salt. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.

Lay out the bread slices on a clean board. Spread a generous layer of the herb cream cheese over each slice.

Arrange the smoked salmon evenly over half the bread slices, then top with the remaining slices, cream cheese side down.

Using a sharp knife, neatly remove the crusts, then cut each sandwich into triangles or fingers. Arrange on a platter and serve fresh.

These are perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or an elegant platter.

For extra freshness, add a few baby rocket leaves or cucumber ribbons before sandwiching.
