Cashew Avocado Chicken Salad

Try this chicken salad when you really want a treat! This recipe makes sandwiches - but it can be served over lettuce as an alternative.

Ingredients:
 4 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
 1/4 cup ranch salad dressing, or to taste
 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
 1 cup cashews
 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
 salt and pepper to taste
 12 slices bacon
 6 slices Swiss cheese
 12 slices bread, toasted

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken, dressing, dill, cashews, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown; drain.
Spread even amounts of the chicken mixture on 6 slices of toasted bread. Top each with 2 slices bacon and 1 slice Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices to make sandwiches.
