Our version of trendy tea sandwiches packs plenty of bold, robust flavors in an elegant little package! The creative chicken salad (which is so simple to pull together using Bell & Evans Fully Cooked Grilled Diced Chicken Breast) is dressed with a delightful curry, lime and honey mayonnaise, and given a satisfying crunch with the addition of cashews, carrots and celery. Served with bibb lettuce on soft bread — crusts cut off, of course — these make for a lovely light lunch or afternoon snack.
