1 (12-ounce) jar marinated roasted red peppers, drained
⅔ cup unsalted roasted almonds or cashews
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
12 ounces shredded rotisserie chicken (about 3 cups)
1 cup loosely packed Little Gem lettuce leaves
8 slices whole-grain bread, toasted if desired
Directions
Place roasted red peppers, almonds (or cashews), panko, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, salt, cumin, coriander and crushed red pepper in a mini food processor. Process until smooth and creamy (it's OK if some lumps remain), 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to a medium bowl; add mayonnaise and stir until combined. (Reserve the remaining red pepper mixture for another use.)
Add chicken to the bowl with the dressing; fold together until fully coated. Arrange lettuce leaves on 4 bread slices. Top with the chicken mixture (about 3/4 cup each). Top with the remaining bread slices. Slice the sandwiches in half before serving, if desired.
Tips
To make ahead
Refrigerate muhammara and dressing (Step 1) separately airtight for up to 5 days.
I tried having my mother’s phone disconnected, but the customer-service rep told me that since the account was in my dad’s name, he’d have to be the one to put in the request. The fact that he’d been dead for 40 years didn’t sway her. Then a solution hit me: “If I stop paying the bill, you can turn off the service, right?” “Well, yes, ” she said reluctantly. “But that would ruin his credit.” —Jeannie Gibbs
When my 85-year-old father was in the hospital, his doctor, trying to determine Dad’s mental state, asked, “What gets you up in the morning?” My father shrugged. “Probably the same thing as everyone. I have to go to the bathroom.”
My nine-year-old daughter walked in while I was getting ready for work. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Putting on my wrinkle cream, " I answered.
"Oh," she said, walking away. "I thought they were natural."
After my 91-year-old mother finished having her hair cut and shaped, the stylist announced, “There, now you look ten years younger. ” My mother, unimpressed, replied, “Who wants to look 81 years old?”
