Chicken salad makes a good sourdough sandwich with arugula, artichoke hearts, and bacon. Fix the salad up to a day ahead, and assemble the sandwiches shortly before the picnic.
I loved this salad, and definately plan to make it again. I used the whole can of artichokes and a little more pepper since i love pepper. I served it over salad greens and used it as a filling for sandwich thins. I think it would be nice with crackers, as a spread at a cocktail hour or party. Delicious!
Would use a little less dressing, skip the arugula and can also add avocado.
I absolutely loved the flavor of this chicken salad. I think the "dressing" is a good base for any chicken salad. I did not have artichokes on hand and I didn't like the idea of bacon in it, so I substituted red grapes (cut in 1/2) and chopped celery for a more traditional chicken salad. It was delicious...the fresh rosemary is an absolute must and makes the dish! I brought it for lunch and ate it in a light pita pocket to cut some more calories. Awesome.
