Grain-free Paleo Tea Sandwiches made from cutouts of cassava coconut tortillas, for delicious petite tea sandwiches.
Tea Sandwiches
Tea sandwiches can be made out of anything you like on a sandwich, only a ‘two-finger’ pickup size.
My British hubby tells me that a sandwich is not a sandwich without butter and on white bread. I say ‘hog wash’!
Tea Time is a very dedicated time to catch your breath from the day, meet up with a friend, inspire Children’s Tea and eat lots of little ‘two finger’ bites.
Paleo Tea Sandwich
Meeting a variety of dietary requirements have become so easy to tweak ingredients to have something special for everyone.
Biscuit Tea Sandwiches are made with wheat flour and have often been the tea sandwich I have made. Then I discovered tortillas made out of cassava and coconut and a variety of other grain-free ingredients. What a game changer!
Once you have prepared the tortillas, you can spread and stack these cuties with whatever you desire. I am loving the many cashew cheese and almond milk spreads, for a dairy free addition to the tea sandwiches.
Hummus – Traditional Hummus Pumpkin Hummus With Chili Oil or Beet Hummus -or salsa is a colorful and flavor charged choice for these tea sandwiches.
While I chose smoked salmon and radishes for this tea party, thinly sliced pieces of meats or veggies would look and taste yummy as well.
Paleo Dessert Tea Sandwich
A cookie-like dessert can be made from the tortillas for a little extra treat. A fast, grain-free cookie you didn’t have to make, and simply splatter a little chocolate on top with orange zest!

PALEO TEA SANDWICHES
Ingredients
- Cassava Coconut Tortilla – 2, with 8 little cut outs per tortilla

- Radishes – 2, thinly sliced
- Smoked Salmon – 2 ounces, or more
- Pea Shoot, Dill or Micro Greens – 8 small pieces
Instructions
- Once the tortillas are cut into 16 little rounds, warm them on a medium pan for about 20 seconds on each side. It brings out their flavor.

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
