salmon salad sandwich

When I need these two kitchen gadgets for a recipe, I know I'm going to love the end results!  It usually means something is getting zested and juiced.  Such is the case for tonight's Salmon Salad Sandwich; if you love lemon, you'll love this!  It's fresh, light and has just enough tang sitting between two delicious slices of White Mountain Bread.  I got home this evening at 5:15, mixed everything I needed, and had the full meal plated and eaten by 6:00, just in time to head out for VBS.  What a perfect choice for our evening's schedule and, oh, so healthy!
