How to Make Vegetable Party Sandwiches
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dissolved gelatin with the shredded carrots, chopped celery, cucumber, onion, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 25 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
- Adjust consistency: When ready to assemble, if the vegetable mixture is too firm, stir in 1/3 to 1/2 cup more mayonnaise until it's easily spreadable.
- Prepare the bread: Using an electric knife (or a sharp serrated knife), carefully trim the crusts from the bread slices.
- Spread and assemble: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly onto one slice of bread, and top with another slice. Make 28 sandwiches.
- Cut and layer: Cut each sandwich into quarters, creating 112 party-sized pieces.
- Store for serving: Layer the cut sandwiches in a large air-tight plastic container, placing damp paper towels between the layers to prevent them from drying out. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
