Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, celery, pickles, grated carrot, and diced eggs.
2 cups cooked chicken, 2 celery stalks, 2-3 pickles, 1 carrot, 2 eggs
In a smaller bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the dressing to your preferred consistency.
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pour the dressing over the chicken salad and stir until everything is well coated.
Open the croissants and layer the bottom half with spinach leaves and tomato slices (2 slices per croissant). Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture on top and close the croissants gently.
4 croissants, 1 cup spinach leaves, 8 tomato slices
Serve immediately or refrigerate the chicken salad for up to 2 days if preparing in advance.

Notes

Lightly toast the croissants for a buttery, crispy texture.
Dice the veggies and pickles uniformly for a balanced bite.
Let the chicken salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, if you have the extra time.
Mix the dressing in small amounts to avoid making the salad too wet, and adjust to your preference.
