SMOKED SALMON ASPARAGUS PINWHEELS (PARTY SANDWICHES)



Smoked Salmon Asparagus Pinwheels (Party Sandwiches) image

These pinwheels are absolutely delicious... don't wait for a party to make them, whip them up for a weekend brunch or evening snack! You can make these up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. You should get around 48-50 pinwheels/sandwiches if you slice each bread roll into 8 pieces, but it will depend on how large you slice them, so servings is only estimated. Don't purchase the completely square slices of bread, purchase the sandwich loaf that is higher on the top. Plan ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing. You can also make these with fresh steamed asparagus, but I prefer the canned better.

PARTY PINWHEELS



Party Pinwheels image

I just made these for our Father's Day BBQ Cookout we had this past Sunday on 6/23/13. These little bite size goodies are a delicious treat for any occasion.

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg tortillas, flour - large (burrito size)
1/4 c onion, minced
1/4 c black olives, chopped
1/3 c celery, minced
1/4 c red bell peppers, minced
1/4 c green bell peppers, minced
2 - 3 Tbsp ranch style dressing mix, dry
2 pkg cream cheese, room temperature - 8 oz. each

Steps:

  • 1. You'll need 3 or 4 large flour tortillas to make these pinwheels.
  • 2. Mix your cream cheese and 2 tbsp. dry ranch dressing mix with your mixer. Taste and see if you want more ranch flavor and adjust to your taste. Add in your minced onion, chopped black olives, pimentos, minced bell peppers and stir with a spoon till it is mixed well.
  • 3. Spread out on a large tortilla by dropping large tbsp. of mixture onto the tortilla. Spread it out evenly and as close as possible to the edges. Next, roll up the tortilla as tightly as possible.
  • 4. Wrap your rolls individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • 5. When ready to serve slice with a steak knife or serrated edge knife and cut medium slices. You should be able to get about 10 slices per roll. The end pieces I usually eat or give to my nephews. Serve on a festive tray and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use thin bread: This will make it easier to roll up the pinwheels without them breaking.
  • Spread the fillings evenly: This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Roll the pinwheels tightly: This will help to keep the fillings from spilling out.
  • Chill the pinwheels before slicing: This will make them easier to cut and will also help to set the fillings.
  • Get creative with your fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so feel free to experiment and find what you like best.

Conclusion:

Party pinwheels are a fun and easy appetizer that can be made ahead of time. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With so many different fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a pinwheel recipe that everyone will enjoy.
