Add a touch of elegance to the tea party with smoked salmon finger sandwiches. The pinwheel shapes impart a bit of variety to the traditional selection of tea sandwiches.

Smoked Salmon Pinwheel Sandwiches

These sandwiches should be refrigerated overnight for best results or at least 2 hours.

6 slices of soft brown bread, crusts trimmed
1 tablespoon watercress, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon parsley, very finely chopped
6 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
Black pepper
1/2 lb smoked salmon, very thinly sliced

The first step is to stretch the bread - use a rolling pin to gently flatten and stretch the bread.

Mix together the crean cheese, lemon juice and pepper. Add parsley and watercress. Spread this mixture evenly over a slice of bread. Next, lay the salmon over the cream cheese mixture.

Now comes the fun part! Roll the piece of bread up firmly and wrap it in plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate overnight for best results. If you have less time, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to insure they chill well enough.

Take the rolls out of the refrigerator and remove the wrapping. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 5 or 6 pieces. Display on a serving plate and garnish with greens and lemon slices.
