TOASTED CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
I love chicken salad sandwiches. For this recipe, I use a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. The chicken is tossed with avocado oil mayonnaise, capers and dill relish, then layered on crusty bread with sliced radishes and butter lettuce. You can vary the flavor by adding herbs or some finely diced roasted red peppers. -David Ross, Spokane Valley, Washington

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a high-quality mayonnaise. Look for one that is made with olive oil or avocado oil.
- If you don't have any Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a more complex flavor that will really elevate the sandwich.
- Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the juicy chicken and flavorful sauce. A good option is a sourdough or baguette.
- If you like your sandwiches with a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mayonnaise or mustard.
- For a vegetarian version of this sandwich, use grilled portobello mushrooms instead of chicken.
