Cantaloupe-Chicken Salad Sandwiches With Creamy Tarragon Dressing
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups (1/2-inch) cubes cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 cups (1/2-inch) cubes cantaloupe
- 1/3 cup chopped celery
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 1/3 cups thinly sliced cucumber
- 6 (6-inch) whole wheat pitas, cut in half
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Add chicken, cantaloupe, and celery; stir gently. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
- Divide salad greens and cucumber slices evenly among pita halves. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken salad into each pita half. Serve immediately.
- Wine note: This fabulous sandwich goes well with a glass of chilled white wine. The cantaloupe's fresh fruitiness calls for a wine that's equally fresh and fruity, without any toasty oak flavors to get in the way. A dry riesling is ideal. I love the Trefethen Estate Dry Riesling 2005 from Napa Valley, California ($20). --Karen MacNeil
