Don't chEAT!


Today was hot, humid, steamy, sticky, buggy, muggy, sunny, and all the remaining qualifications necessary for a real July day in the northeast. In celebration, I designated it as one to lounge by or in the pool, book in tow. While doing so, a chicken salad sandwich loomed in my mind's eye; just had to have one for lunch. So, romaine lettuce became my bread substitute, and Dannon plain replaced mayo. I mixed yogurt with a little horseradish mustard, added snipped chives, freshly ground pepper and lots of lemon juice. Cut tomato lined the lettuce, topped with chicken mixture; wrapped and secured with a toothpick, then garnished with avocado. Delicious, nutritious, and perfect for bathing-suit weather. Don't chEAT. Bon Appetit!
