2  green onions, chopped

3 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, or to taste

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

DRESSING:

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons  olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp seasoned salt OR white salt

INSTRUCTIONS:———————————-

I have made these for parties and brunches many times and you can make them well in advance, you could omit the garlic powder I like to add it in for extra flavor, choose long medium-size asparagus to use for this and canned will work well also, use a regular sliced sandwich loaf, the amounts may be reduce to half to make 24 sandwiches

Yield 48 sandwiches

INGREDIENTS:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened(can use light cream cheese)

1/4 cup mayonnaise (do not use salad dressing)

small pinch garlic powder, optional

6 horizontal slices sandwich loaf

12 ounces smoked salmon

6 cooked long asparagus spears OR canned drained asparagus

INSTRUCTIONS:——————————————-

In a bowl mix the cream cheese with mayonnaise and garlic powder until well combined.

Trim crusts from bread.

With rolling pin roll bread to flatten slightly.

Spread with cheese mixture over the bread slices, then top with salmon.
