"Chicken" Salad Sandwich

Sunday, April 12, 2009


I served my "chicken" salad on a homemade flaxseed bap with bitter dandelion greens.

I've never tried to make chicken salad with faux chicken before so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Plus it was warm today in Davis and I wasn't in the mood to heat up the kitchen. This sandwich came together in a snap - only one step, in fact! Go ahead and bump up the rosemary and mustard for a more full flavor. I was also thinking maybe next time I would saute or roast the "chicken" with herbs. If you try any of those options and they work, please let me know.
