The ultimate summer sandwich to bring to a picnic or day at the beach: These are tarragon pulled chicken salad sandwiches. What really makes this is the creamy homemade dressing with @mailleus Whole Grain Mustard. The grains in my mustard are cut, not crushed, which gives it tons of flavor and keeps the sandwich crisp and fresh all beach day long.
Here’s how to make it:
