Canada Day Picnic Sandwich
Want something special to celebrate our country's birthday? Make Canada's best sandwich to put in your picnic hamper on any July 1. Simply hollow out a loaf of your favorite bread — we used round crusty loaf — and fill it with a truly delicious filling. The loaf can be transported to the picnic site in a cooler, then cut in wedges and served from a napkin lined basket.
Servings:
Ingredients:
-
1 loaf bread
1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise (approx)
3 cups (750 mL) cubed cooked chicken
1 cup (250 mL) green grapes, halved
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped celery
1/2 cup (125 mL) toasted sliced almonds
1/4 cup (50 mL) sliced green onions
Salt and pepper

1 sweet red pepper, slivered
Preparation:
Cut top off loaf. Hollow out bread, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) shell.
Mix together 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the mayonnaise, chicken, grapes, celery, almonds, onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the shell generously with remaining mayonnaise and line with lettuce. Spoon about two-thirds of the chicken mixture into romaine-lined shell. Layer slivered red pepper over salad; spoon remaining chicken mixture on top. Replace bread top.
Wrap sandwich tightly in plastic and refrigerate until picnic time.
