Strawberry Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich

I got the inspiration for this sandwich from the Strawberry Fields salad at TGIFridays. Since strawberries were so cheap this week, I wanted to incorporate them into a meal, and not just eat them on the side. So, this is what I came up with - you can find the recipe here.

Strawberries - $.88 / lb at Walmart (only $.99 at Buy Low this week) - total $.88

Pecans - $1.26 / bag at Walmart

Green Onions - $.50 at Walmart, used 4 - total $.20

Mayonnaise - Price $1.99, used $1 coupon and $1 Target coupon here - total FREE!

Balsamic Vinaigrette- on Price Cut at Target for $1.59, used $1 coupon and $.50 Target coupon - total $.09, used 2 Tbs - basically FREE

Sourdough Bread - $1.99 at Smith's = $.15 / slice, used 8 - total $1.20

Lettuce - $1.49 at Smith's, used 8 leafs - total $.50


Grand Total - $4.04 for 4 servings, $1.01 for each serving

One note - the chicken salad does not keep well for the next day (the pecans loose their crunch and the strawberries get mushy and turn everything pink). So, only make what you'll eat right away.
