A grown-up lunch: Turkey olive sandwiches
by Laura Falin posted in Life & Home
I've mentioned before that sometimes it's nice to have something other than the kids' peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or chicken nuggets for lunch. A fancy sandwich is one of those little things that can just make the middle of the day feel special.
Honestly, I'm not sure if my kids would go for these sandwiches. But that's kind of the point -- they're for me. Tasty, fancy, olive-and-walnut-and-turkey sandwiches all for me. In a house where I can barely go to the bathroom alone, this is a big deal.
Ingredients:
1 c whole olives
1/2 c walnuts
2 Tb olive oil
sliced deli turkey
your bread of choice (I like those expensive ones that have lots of nuts and seeds -- a 7-grain bread is really good for this)
Instructions:
Pulse olives, walnuts, and olive oil in the food processor until they make a paste.
Spread the paste on your bread. Add slices of turkey, and make your sandwich.
These would also be great for a tea, or baby shower, or spring luncheon. Cut them into cute little triangles and maybe serve with more olives on the side. They're a little savory, so I think they'd go great with a nice, sweet lemonade.
Do you do anything little like this, just for you"
