I love making salad fillings for buffet sandwiches.  The convenience of making them ahead is a real time saver on busy party days.  I find that the classic recipes with a few slight modifications are still the best.

Each of the recipes below can be served in multiple ways.  I like to use mini-croissants, silver dollar buns, or even serve the salad by itself in a pretty bowl with a tray of crackers.  

For the sandwiches, I usually add a leaf of romaine or other leafy green, decorate each sandwich with a frilled toothpick, and arrange each variety on a different platter. 

Here are the five varieties of sandwich fillings I rely on for events.  

I usually make 2 for variety, but you could certainly make any or all of them.  

What are your favorite sandwich fillings?
