"THE OTHER WHITE MEAT" CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

I tried a pork chop recipe for dinner that my family didn't enjoy. I had a lot of chops leftover that I didn't want to waste so I put them in the fridge til the next day, hoping to figure out what to do with them. My family loves chicken salad sandwiches & the idea came to me that I should try to disquise the pork chops by making them into "chicken" salad. This is the delicious result, minus the original pork chop preparation. I used what I had on hand at the time, but most of the ingredients are easily substituted & now I will just use any leftover pork chops for this. It tastes just like my chicken salad.
