** Serve chicken salad scooped inside whole tomatoes lined with fresh basil leaves. Take two medium to large whole tomatoes and quarter each by cutting from the top to within a half inch from the bottom so the tomatoes hold together at the base but open like a flower to allow the salad to be placed inside.
Layer a few basil leaves inside each tomato so they look like flower petals and fill each cavity with the salad. This makes a very attractive presentation for a simple light lunch with garlic toast or crisp breadsticks.
Easy Sandwich Idea:
** This quick and easy chicken salad also doubles as a chicken salad sandwich recipe too. Serve as a regular sandwich filling or spread on top of crusty french bread topped with a bit of spicy salsa. Optionally, omit salsa and top with your favorite cheese and pop under a broiler just long enough to melt the cheese. A simple and toasty chicken salad sandwich is a great idea on a cold day with a warm bowl of tomato soup. It's always a crowd pleaser.
