Tisme, I made this for lunch today... what a wonderful chicken salad! I love the addition of the fresh lemon zest. Only had one Meyer lemon so there wasn't much peel, I added just a tiny bit of the fresh lemon juice to the chicken because I was a tad short on the peel. My one daughter came to the table for lunch and tried a single one of the finger sandwiches...she said "These are really good. Before I came to the table, I told myself that I was going to be kind and not say anything bad about lunch...it's a good thing I didn't, because I would have had to eat my words too!". She is not a big fan of chicken or any bread other then homemade, so for her to enjoy this sandwich says a lot. Made and Reviewed for April 2012 AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.

I used some left over roasted chicken and scaled back for 2 sandwiches and had enough filling for 3 so we had 1 1/2 each and thoroughly enjoyed the crunch of the celery and toasted pinenuts and the zing of the lemon in these delightful morsels. Thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe.
