Curry Apple Chicken Salad

Curry Apple Chicken Salad

A modern take on the classic finger sandwich

When it comes to recipes, some classics are ripe for reinvention. Take this fresh twist on the traditional chicken salad sandwich, which boasts more fibre, protein and other nutrients – in addition to a great taste.

The naturally fermented bread brings this sandwich to the next level, adding the perfect texture and aroma to set off the flavours.

According to registered dietitian Abbey Sharp, “Fermentation provides probiotics or ‘good’ bacteria, which are great for supporting our immune systems and for regulating digestion. Fermentation is also known to bring out rich and delicious flavours.”

Sharp recommends pairing the sandwich with a fresh bottle of ginger kombucha to add a unique and appealing tang.
