I've been anticipating spring season because I knew around the corner spring turnips (and their greens!) would be making their faithful return. Happily and gratefully, we received some in our CSA box last week. Sandwich spread recipe c/o Farmfreshfeasts.com. Sandwich fillings c/o C G. If you don't have the turnips greens you can substitute arugula, watercress or for a less piquant bite-mixed spring greens.

How To Make spring turnip tea sandwiches

  • 1
    In a prep bowl combine the sandwich spread ingredients. If the spread it too thick, you can thin it will a small amount of creme fraiche or other substitute. Cover and chill.
  • 2
    Just before ready to eat, spread the bread slices evenly but not thickly with the sandwich spread. Cut in half or quarters (depends on type of bread used). Enjoy! Note: do not prepare the sandwiches too far in advance. The bread will become soggy.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
