Meh, an okay change of pace from a sandwich.. Tastes too much like a sandwich with the mustard and cheese, etc. Loved the crunchy rye though. It just needs maybe some more fresh herbs, fruit, or veggies to brighten the flavor.

In this fun take on the sandwich classic, Grace Parisi creates a delectable ham salad mixed with crunchy rye bread croutons and bits of Gruyčre cheese, tossed in a mustardy dressing with celery and chives. She sometimes likes to wrap the bread salad in Bibb lettuce leaves for an inside-out sandwich.
