I have had a craving for some reason for a croissant sandwich and wanted something different. I came upon this recipe and thought "this is it"! I love the grapes and the cashews and the havarti cheese. Everything sounds so fresh and tastey! I just love the freshness and the sweet and saltiness of this and it got 5 star ratings from everyone so - this is it! Just thought I would share it in case anyone else has this same craving. We're talking about a croissant and fresh chicken salad here! Found recipe on food.com / photo from yummly

How To Make this is it - croissant chicken salad sandwich

Step 1

Mix mayo, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and basil together till well incorporated. Fold in chicken, grapes, cashews,celery,and onions. Halve the croissants (you may wish to slightly toast them, I do not like them toasted) and layer with salad, lettuce, and cheese if you wish.
