i have a serious soft spot for sandwiches.
i could eat them everyday. and in fact, i do. 
i'm a staunch sandwich-for-lunch gal. 
but it's not everyday that i make this sandwich.
nope. this one is extra special. 
reserved for dinnertime, even.

when i made this favorite a few nights ago,
i served it with these nifty wedges, mom's baked beans, 
and this salad. it felt just like summertime. 
i was ready to head outside & watch fireworks.

with chicken salad, i like to play around.
mayo or miracle whip. grapes or apples or baby gherkins.
dorothy lynch or vinegar. dill or honey mustard.
here's what i did for this batch..

summer style chicken salad
roughly 2 c. cooked chicken
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 braeburn apple, diced
plenty of coarse salt & pepper
a dollop of mayo
a sprinkle of dill
a dash of cayenne pepper

serve atop toasted wheat bread & fresh spinach.

apples in your chicken salad??? as the over used, cheesy, disney channel original movie-worthy line goes, "who are you, and what have you done with my sister???"

Hello, I'm Summer. A people-loving introvert whose hope and life is in Jesus. His promises are my passion and my ministry is homelife. This blog is a place for me to write about everyday things. Especially food. My favorite thing to do is sit around a table, lingering over a long meal with good conversation. I live with my husband and our 2 littles. We like blizzards, thrifting, grammar, guacamole, cheerful hearts, nice manners, good movies, and making simple, real, nutrient-dense food.
