light chicken salad sandwiches

IMG_7299
Several years ago, while on our annual family trip in Hawaii, we charted a boat to snorkel with dolphins. For lunch, the crew served us pre-made delicious, light, and healthy chicken salad sandwiches.

Luckily, I was successful in recreating those sandwiches. I now make them every summer. These sandwiches are filling, fresh and light. The glazed walnuts add sweetness and an extra crunch to the sandwiches. I like that these sandwiches are so simple to make.

Try preparing these sandwiches ahead of time and pack for a picnic, or for any type of lunch away from home.


Coincidently, we happen to be enjoying ourselves in Hawaii at this very moment, as I publish this post.  I’ll be posting pics of our Hawaii vacation on my Instagram. Feel free to follow!
