Lemony Dill Chicken Salad Club Sandwiches

Lemony Dill Chicken Salad Club Sandwiches were my creation after my tennis picnic was canceled because of snow! I needed to make something with all the chicken salad!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a meteorologist. I should have gone in that direction. It’s the only career that I know of where you get paid a boatload and you can completely be wrong 90% of the time!

It happened again. The weather forecasters completely got the storm wrong! This time, it was a major mistake. We all knew that we were going to get a snow/rain event on Friday in Denver. Maybe a couple inches of snow, cold temperatures and basically a crummy day was in store.

Remember I just said Friday? Well the storm hit Wednesday night. Sideways rain, huge thunder and crazy wind. When we woke up on Thursday morning there was already 6 inches of snow! What? I was so happy that I covered my vegetable plants, brought in all my planters and covered the peonies and poppies with buckets on Wednesday afternoon because I knew it was just going to be cold that night. Lucky me.


It gets better, the good ol’ weather people reported that in my neighborhood we only received 3.5 inches of snow! What ever! My measuring stick said 16 inches. One of those Home Depot buckets was filled 3/4 full of water! Holy cow! What a storm!

Now, it’s Sunday, clear blue skies and warm temperatures. You would never know that we had all that snow on the ground 2 days ago! You gotta love spring time in the Rockies! Good news though, this was the first snow in May since 2008. I can live with that!

I can’t believe that Memorial Day weekend is next week! I had full intentions of doing something on the grill this week, but I’m a wussy and didn’t want to grill in the snow.  So I had prepared this lemon dill chicken salad for my after tennis picnic Thursday night. Since my match was cancelled, I decided to spruce it up and make Lemony Dill Chicken Salad Club Sandwiches with all my leftovers! I love a good club sandwich and now, I love a chicken salad club sandwich even better. Wow! This was good. The lemon and the dill are so tasty in the chicken salad. It has a super fresh flavor and when you add the bacon, well you may as well give up on all other sandwiches.

If you don’t feel like making big sandwiches, make the chicken salad and serve it on a fresh green salad. It’s delicious either way. Try the sandwich though. Yum!

Ill try and post something later this week on the grill for Memorial Day! In the meantime, here are couple of my favorite rib recipes!

Ginger Beer Ribs

Bourbon Whiskey BBQ Sauce Ribs

Enjoy! This is really great chicken salad!

    Going by your great presentation and pic, I think I can almost taste it. I told Lea Ann that I would gladly trade our week of near 90 degree temps for your snowstorm.
