Dairy and Egg-Free Chicken Club Sandwich

Earlier this month, Tina from My Life as a Mrs. posted a Bacon Avocado Chicken Club with Garlic-Basil Mayo that made me want to lick my screen. Every single part of her post looked enticing and I just new I had to try my own dairy and egg-free version.

I substituted mashed avocado with lime juice, cilantro and chives for the garlic basil mayo, and then used goat cheddar for the cheese. I also found a great lettuce mix featuring spinach, arugula, tatsoi and chard that added so much extra flavor. I can honestly say this is one of the best sandwiches I have ever made. I even took one to work the next day and my oh my it was tasty!
