I made this one up one day using ingredients that I had on hand. It turned out quite well, and I have made it several times since. Makes a nice quick lunch for friends and is relatively low in fat and calories.

Steps:

  • You can toast your own almonds either in a frying pan or in the oven. Be careful to watch them, though, because they will burn quickly.

CRANBERRY CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

This is an easy, delicous way to use up leftover chicken. The amounts of each ingredient can be adjusted to your individual preference-- or you can make it as is. Basil can be substituted for cilantro, or it can be completely ommitted. ALSO, if you are watching your carbs, serve this over a bed of lettuce instead of a bun. Enjoy!
