Sandwiches fit the summer cuisine because the ingredients tend to be chilled. The classic “club” sandwich has three pieces of bread with bacon, lettuce, tomato with turkey or chicken. In Europe, the salmon “club” sandwich is growing in popularity. It is made with three pieces of toast, lettuce, tomato and cooked chopped salmon with mayo and herbs. A summer spicy chicken “club” sandwich can be made with bacon, lettuce, tomato and chicken salad. These are all variations on a theme, with the crust trimmed, that make those triangular toast points so tasty. I like to serve all three, as a selection, and offer a variety of chips. Whether golfing, swimming, hiking, biking or hugging the A/C unit, the simplistic “club” offers the traditional comforts, making a little go a long way. © Kelly McBride Loft
