First off I love sandwiches and this is now the top of the list. I love the dressing!! It is the perfect balance of flavors. I used boneless skinless chicken tenders because that is what I had on hand. My four year old said "This is super good we need this again" This will be made regularly as we have all these items on hand. I highly recommend this and think the anchovy paste is what sends this above and beyond. Made for ZWT 5.
