Want something fun and different? Try this zesty southwest chicken salad sandwich!

This is a fantastic twist on the classic chicken salad sandwich recipe. The southwest-style chicken salad is all about zing! It has an unexpected Tex-Mex kick that revives this classic flavor into the new era. Well, that and I love to get creative with salad recipes. So if you'd like to try a classic home-made recipe with a twist, this might be the sandwich for you.

It is a great picnic sandwich - just make sure to keep it cool for freshness.

The recipe below is for 2 sandwiches.

Tip: All of the ingredients are approximates. Feel free to adjust them to your taste. But these measurements are how I enjoy to make this recipe.
