  1. This is my go too sandwich!! I bring them to everything!! I instead of 1/4 cup of mayo I mix 1 tablespoon of Mayo with 1 tablespoon of Miracle whip. I always serve it on Mini- Croissants with Boston Bib!!
     
  2. It is good but I would have like some additional flavor, from some spices. This would have gone great with the texture of the sandwich. I threw in a small granny smith apple - peeled, cored and small cubes - which was a personal addition. Next time I will experiment with a touch of curry powder.
     
  3. Yum! Instead of pecans, I used cashews. I also added apples to bulk it up a bit. It was awesome! I had it on wheat bread one day and had it on rye bread today. A nutty multi-grain would also be great with this!
     
  4. This was an excellant chicken salad sandwich. I'm not usually a fan...but I loved all the textures and flavors in your recipe. The filling was sweet, tart, tangy, satisfying and very filling. I used a sesame bagel and romain hearts as that is what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing your tasty version, which I will make again.
     
  5. This was a nice chicken salad and I enjoyed it, but I felt that it needed a little extra something. I'm not quite sure what - but just something to give it a bit more flavor. Celery would probably make a nice addition too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  2. Yummy! I used cashews rather than pecans (didn't have on hand)and a tad of sour cream instead of yogurt.

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
