This is great thinly slice on a bed of arugula, dressed with the horseradish sauced, served with a salad of summer's tomatoes.
It would be lovely if NYT allowed a bit of time for editing one's notes. I'd put that misplaced 'd' back where it belongs.
I made these with brioche buns for a church potluck lunch and people loved them. I substituted arugula because I couldn't find fresh watercress, added a thin sliver of red onion, and stuck a festive toothpick in each sandwich to hold them together on a platter for serving. Delicious and easy to make.

No worries! Appreciate your thoughts.
