Easy and delicious canapés with ham salad and pickled red onions.
These small, crisp bites are perfect as a nibble to hand round with drinks, an appetiser or a light starter, – they can also be served as part of a tapas spread, or with a glass of white wine in the garden.
The bread is fried in butter in a pan, then topped with a few salad leaves, ham salad and pickled red onions, – simple and very good indeed.
They taste wonderful and take no time at all to make.
A perfect appetiser for parties and New Year’s Eve
Butter-toasted bread with ham salad makes a perfect New Year’s Eve canapé, – the bread rounds can be made ahead, and so can the ham salad. Then all that’s left is to assemble them when the guests arrive.
They are of course also excellent as little bites for birthdays, graduation parties or any other celebration.
