Notes
Soft white bread gives these tea sandwiches their classic texture and appearance.
For the cleanest cuts, use a serrated bread knife when trimming the crusts and cutting the sandwiches.
Finely chopping the celery helps create a smoother filling that’s easier to spread and serve in tea sandwiches.
Fresh lemon juice adds brightness and helps balance the richness of the mayonnaise.
