These clever little low-calorie and gluten-free sandwiches use apple rounds to stand in for the bread. We prefer crisp, red varieties but Granny Smiths work just as well.

Reviews
My family really liked the chicken salad but I did make some changes. I used chicken breasts that cooked on the grill then shredded it. Also put more raisins about 4 tablespoons. Next time I will put some spicy mustard in it.
To keep the apples from turning brown just swipe both sides of the cut apple with half a lemon.It should not affect the flavor of the curried chicken salad because there is already a touch of lemon in it.
