Who serves ham and asparagus for Easter dinner? And do you usually have leftovers after a big holiday meal? I have a clever way to use some of those leftovers with this Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Asparagus Mayonnaise. Have you ever heard of asparagus mayonnaise? I hadn’t so I made it up!

This sandwich can be changed up depending on your favorite cheese and bread. I happen to love a light Deli rye bread and baby Swiss cheese. And let me tell you the combination of a pretty traditional ham and cheese sandwich is totally amped up with this asparagus mayonnaise. You really have to try it!

In a food processor I simply blended some leftover cooked asparagus (I usually grill or sauté my fresh asparagus) with a little fresh parsley, lemon juice, pinch of salt and Hellmann’s mayonnaise. It’s a perfectly delicious “strangewich”. Strange + Sandwich

      I like doing posts like these because it makes me think outside the box. You really should try the asparagus mayo – would make a great dip or spread on different types of sandwiches too!
