Ingredients
Scale:
1 box of Ritz crackers (approximately 30-40 crackers)
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably a high-quality brand
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (for Classic Chicken filling)
1/2 cup finely diced bell peppers and celery (for Veggie Delight filling)
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped (for Smoked Salmon filling)
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Choose your desired filling option. For the classic chicken filling, fold in shredded chicken. For the veggie delight, mix in the diced bell peppers and celery. For smoked salmon, stir in the chopped salmon along with fresh herbs.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the filling onto a Ritz cracker. Top with a second cracker to create a sandwich. Repeat until all crackers are assembled.
Garnish each sandwich with a sprig of fresh herbs or a caper.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
