Chia seed coleslaw
Chia seeds have a very long list of nutritional values including helping diabetes, digestion, speeding up your metabolism, weight loss, energy boosting etc. They have a slightly nutty flavor and give the coleslaw an extra crunch but are discreet and small enough that if you wish they weren't there you barely notice them but still get all the health benefits!

Turkey sandwich
There is nothing like a good turkey sandwich! It needs to be great bread that is toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. It needs to have the right amount of bread to turkey ratio and lots of flavor. I know there is an extra step here with placing the lettuce and avocado into a bowl and dressing it before putting it in the sandwich but this little trick is the secret to all sandwiches that have lettuce in them.

Hi Chef,
How would you recommend making this vegetarian?
Replace the sliced turkey with high quality sliced cheese of your choice!
