  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced

  1. In a large bowl, combine chopped rotisserie chicken, thoroughly drained crushed pineapple, honey roasted almonds, sliced celery, and red onion. Stir to combine.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, honey, mustard, lemon juice, and a generous (or to taste) sprinkle of salt and pepper. I add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Pour dressing over salad.

  4. Layer the chicken salad on a croissant or sandwich bread and add some lettuce. Enjoy immediately.
