A ribbon sandwich should be stacked with two, usually, three layers of filling. These look to just be one filling per sandwich and cut in strips. Normally, you stack the layers, wrap in plastic and the refrigerate for 4 hours - no more than 24 - and slice before serving. The fillings may be delicious, but this is not what I would call a ribbon sandwich in the traditional sense.

Lovely tea time sandwiches! All 3 are very good and all so easy to put together!! I used homemade pickled baby onions instead of the pickle relish with the ham, added salt and pepper to the egg filling and instead of chives with the cream cheese I used green onion; subbing these with things I had in the pantry. Made for a Valentine tea party and enjoyed by all, they disappeared very quickly. Thanks for posting!
