Creamy Dill Chicken Salad Sandwich

June 21, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Nothing, I mean nothing is a delicious as my mom’s homemade chicken salad. Over the years, I created my own take on her recipe but with a few changes. I love fresh dill and mayo as a spreadable combination on any sandwich and this Creamy Dill Chicken Salad Sandwich bumps it up a notch and incorporates cranberries (optional). I think mom would be proud.

It’s so good, I might just eat two sandwiches in one sitting. Want to avoid carbs? Add this creamy salad on top of mixed greens instead.

This creamy, cool chicken salad is addictive. You'll want to sandwich it between bread, pita bread, or just top it on top of a bed of mixed greens. Addictive. You've been warned.
