Ingredients
Scale
Salad Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill
Salad Mix
- 2 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
- 1 rib celery (diced)
- ½ cup halved grapes
- ¼ cup diced red onion
Assembly
- 4 croissants
- Butter lettuce (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, red wine vinegar, and chopped dill until smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful dressing base for the chicken salad.
- Add salad ingredients: To the dressing bowl, add the chopped or shredded cooked chicken, diced celery, halved grapes, and diced red onion. Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Scoop generous amounts of the chicken salad onto the bottom halves of the croissants, then top with fresh butter lettuce leaves for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve immediately: Place the top halves of the croissants over the filled bottom halves to form sandwiches. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and flaky croissant texture at its best.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken thighs or breasts that have been shredded or chopped for best texture.
- For added flavor, chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes before assembling sandwiches.
- Substitute croissants with whole wheat bread or your preferred sandwich roll if desired.
- Reduce mayonnaise or use a low-fat version for a lighter sandwich.
- Grapes can be substituted with diced apples or dried cranberries for a different twist.
