Step-by-step

• Place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor and pulse until creamy. Taste and adjust, if needed. Transfer to the bottom of a large mixing bowl.
• Add the chicken, celery, onion, and pimientos into the bowl with the dressing and toss well to combine.
• Toast the bread.
• While the bread toasts, spiralize the cucumber on Blade A, using very light pressure, so you get thin cucumber ribbons. Trim and set aside.
• Build the sandwiches using the chicken salad, lettuce, spiralized cucumbers, and carrots. Serve.
• Alternately, build as bowls: ditch the bread and divide the cucumber noodles, salad, and carrots into bowls and top with equal portions of chicken salad.
