Pimento Cheese Sandwiches and Salami Straws

September 23, 2013 by athomewithrebecka 2 Comments

 Pimento cheese sandwiches start with creamy pimento cheese, sandwiched between slices of tender, white bread. A side of low carb salami straws make the perfect lunch pairing.

Flash back to the early 1960’s, Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The creamy tart goodness of pimento cheese spread; a perfect mixture of cream cheese and pimento aka, roasted red peppers, or those little red thingies tucked inside green olives!

Such happy food memories come from stalks of celery crammed full of the pale orange concoction. Who knew how simple it would be to please my pre-adolescent pallet?  

Recreating this pimento cheese sandwiches recipe met the mark. With so much flavor, the pimento cheese almost redefined those early years of snack time glory!

I hope you enjoy this easy sandwich recipe, too. Pimento cheese sandwiches are pure comfort food.
