  1. This sounds a great little sandwich and the possibilities for swaps is endless. I'd make it with barbecued salmon or meat free sausages - delicious.

    1. Thanks. Yes, it's one of those sandwiches that takes longer to make, but devoured in seconds. It's not too filling and it's tasty too.

      I have settled for the vegetarian option, but as you say the possibilities for swaps are endless. Anything works, it depends on your preferences.

    1. I feel there should always be a place for vegetarian. Not only does it help help save the planet, it's better for your health, also.

  2. This chicken sandwich looks delicious! That barbecued salmon Brad mentioned sounds good too.

    You guys are going to make me fire up my grill.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, the barbecue salmon sounds good. The alternatives to this recipe work well, particularly the avocado.

      If you get to barbecue, let us know how you get on with the recipe. Any feedback is welcome.
