Ingredients

Chicken & Celery Salad:

  • 340 g (2 cups) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 90 ml (6 tablespoons) mayonnaise
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
  • 100 g (3 1/2 oz) crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sandwiches:

  • 1 baguette, cut in half horizontally
  • 40 g (1 1/2 cups) baby spinach
  • 10 g (1/4 cup) celery leaves
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
  • 4 long sandwich picks or toothpicks

Directions

Chicken & Celery Salad:

  1. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped celery, and green onions.
  2. Mix the Dressing: Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice to the bowl, and mix well to combine.
  3. Optional: Fold in the crumbled feta cheese for added flavor.
  4. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Sandwiches:

  1. Prepare the Baguette: Cut the baguette in half horizontally. If the baguette is particularly thick, you can remove some of the interior bread to make more room for the filling.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: On the bottom half of the baguette, spread the chicken & celery salad evenly.
  3. Add Greens: Top the salad with baby spinach and celery leaves.
  4. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the greens for a touch of richness.
  5. Finish the Sandwich: Place the top half of the baguette over the fillings.
  6. Secure and Cut: Use four long sandwich picks or toothpicks to secure the sandwich. Cut the baguette into four equal sections.

Serve and Enjoy!

These Chicken & Celery Salad Sandwiches are perfect for a picnic, lunchbox, or casual meal at home. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for a few hours if needed. The combination of the creamy salad and fresh greens makes for a delightful bite every time.
