My Favourite Sandwiches
Did you know that the sandwich is named after John Montagu (1718-92), the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who started a craze for eating beef between two slices of toast. Sandwich is a town in Kent, south east England. More than 1 billion sandwiches are eaten daily, worldwide. I had this one for lunch today. It tasted great, was very filling and so I decided to take a picture and post it. How often do you eat a sandwich?
- Yoghurt Mayonnaise Dressing
- ¼ cup Greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon milk or light cream (if the mixture is too thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Sandwich
- 1 cup diced, cooked or rotisserie chicken
- 1 small apple peeled, cored and diced
- 3 fresh apricots, seeded and chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 4 romaine or lettuce leaves
- 16 slices cucumber
- 1 medium tomato sliced thinly
- 8 slices multigrain whole wheat bread
Please always remember to assemble all ingredients before you start
Dressing: whisk yoghurt and mayonnaise in a small bowl. If too thick, thin down with some milk or light cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the filling: Mix chicken, apple, apricots and boiled eggs with the dressing.
Assemble the sandwich: lay the lettuce on a slice of bread. Top with tomatoes, cucumber and chicken mixture, and the other slice of bread. Cut into two and serve.
It was delicious and filling . You can replace the apple and apricots with other fruits and even add some cubed cheese

A neighbor just dropped off a bag of fresh peaches from her tree so I think I am going to try this sandwich with the peaches instead of the apricot since I’ve got them!
Omg Lyn I love the sound of your neighbourhood. Everybody seems to be growing something. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies. I have to buy everything here (LOL). Enjoy the sandwich! Best wishes!

You must know I love sandwiches! Once a week is not enough form me!!
Ha ha there are so many delicious things to eat, and only seven days a week! I can’t balance!

What a glorious looking sandwich!
I love it when a food has a story behind it. I learned about the sotry of sandwich when I was 12, I think, in an English class.
Oh boy I learnt about it much later in life. You must have heard a great English class and teacher. Enjoy the weekend.

Well, if I hadn’t just finished lunch, and checked my email before, I could have had this for my lunch too! It looks very yummy! And you know I have left over chicken from my soup the other day! I have one more meal of that soup left – it is so good! I could eat sandwiches every single day! Sometimes I don’t have a lot of imagination when it comes to putting the fillings together so this is a new and exciting one I can add to my repertoire of recipes in my iPad! Thanks Liz. Still raining here but very humid and muggy. Not normal for us! I’m feeling like I’m in Ontario. LOL
