Watercress finger sandwiches

A friend of mine made these for a get together the other day. She ended up standing in the kitchen for a couple hours because every time she put a new batch down on the platter, they vanished. And many of the guests were children. What a great trick to get kids to eat their vegetables! You will need:

• a bunch of watercress
• sliced bread
• softened butter, cream cheese or soy cream cheese
• salt
• black sesame seeds (a couple of handfuls)

Wash watercress and dry thoroughly. Spread the butter or cream cheese on a slice of bread. Put a few sprigs of watercress on the bread as desired. Sprinkle on salt to taste and put another slice of bread on top making a sandwich. Cut off the crusts of the bread then cut the sandwich twice diagonally to make four triangles. Spread a little butter or cream cheese on one of the cut sides of each triangle then press that side against the sesame seeds so they stick. These are yummy, light and decorative.
