A chicken salad sandwich sounds good. Could I have some potato salad on the side and some iced tea?

[mon]

I really like salad, could use a new recipe. Dirty martini and a sausage roll too

[Queen of Poop]

Had pasta salad last night, gluten free of course. I'd take a large glass of iced tea, please.

[Catty1]

Large ice tea for me please, and a bowl of chicken salad all by itself sounds wonderful! Please and thank you.

Gonna be a heat wave here this weekend I hear. Lotsa popsicles, greens and I made a big quiche to nuke slice by slice. Only gonna use the BBQ if that's not enough and it sure won't be me doing it Fruit smoothies in the blender, I never cook in the blasting heat.

I have some tarragon chicken salad in the fridge right now, which several people who have tried it raved about:

1. Chop up cooked chicken into 1/2" or smaller cubes. I usually use one large chicken breast, baked and cooled, but whatever you have will work.

2. Slice 1 shallot in very thing slices

3. Add a tablespoon or so of tarragon

4. And enough mayonnaise to make it all stick together, and salt to taste

Stir all together, and chill until you are ready to serve!

I usually make a sandwich on toast with a leaf of good lettuce - Boston or other dark green, not iceberg. If you are going to be carrying the sandwich somewhere for lunch, a slice of lettuce between the bread and the salad on both sides keeps the bread from getting soggy!

I'll take some of that a iced tea to go with my sandwich, please!

Sounds really good Karen, never use tarragon much. I can't even remember when I used it last, gonna sort that out one day. There is a heat wave here, so hot. My Aunty just emailed, she just moved and wants us to go buy two new air conditioners and install them in her new high rise . Husband knows how, I am pretty sure he will be thrilled about that when he wakes up from his nap..... EEEEEK!!! Ohhh God. Think I will just tell him tomorrow a.m. Tonight a lovely samosa and a fruit salad for dinner.
