Need a sauce for this chicken sandwich

[Jared_mizanin]

I am making a chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers, pepperjack, and avocado slices. What would make a good dressing for it? Some type of mayonnaise? Creamy pesto? Other?

Not sure what type of bread I'm putting it on...perhaps ciabatta.

Thanks!

You could make a nice vinaigrette with olive oil, lemon juice, a bit of Dijon mustard to bind it, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in a small bowl till it thickens. Or mayonnaise with lime juice and zest and a bit of sugar to balance the acid.

I vote for chipotle mayonnaise.

Roasted garlic mayo.....

Buffalo wing sauce mixed with a bit of ranch....

I like the idea of the lime juice and zest!

I would also add a teaspoon or two of curry powder and a good shot of cayenne pepper!

I have recently gotten hooked on a friends garlic mayo and it would go good with this sandwich.
1 cup of mayo
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp of garlic powder or 1 garlic clove minced
salt and pepper to taste.

Wow, that sounds good

That garlic mayo/ roasted garlic mayo sounds pretty good! I think I might try that! All the suggestions were excellent, however!

While I'm at it, what might be a good side? Steak fries? Macaroni salad? Other?

You guys and gals rock!

Warning it is as addictive as crack.

Curried mayo?

Not sure what pepperjack is - Monterey Jack cheese with chilis? Mind you, I don't know what Monterey Jack tastes like either.

Yes, pepperjack is Monterey Jack cheese with chopped jalapeños. Monterey Jack is a mild white cheese that melts well, similar to mozzarella.

You may have eaten your sandwich already, but I would suggest a Lemon Chive Aioli.
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives or green onions
1 tbsp grated lemon rind
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp grainy mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Thanks for that.

I would also vote for chipotle mayo. In fact, I would probably just take powerplantop's garlic mayo recipe up above and add a chopped chiptole or two to it, along with a teaspoon of adobo sauce.

I was leaning toward salsa verde...

I like PPT's Garlic Aioli as well. But jsut because i gotta be different, another dressing that would compliment that sandwich is a good honey mustard sauce, using a spice brown mustard. A creamy horseradish sauce, used sparingly would go well with it too.

As for sides, I'd want something simple and refreshing to go with the sandwich, like a juicy slaw, or maybe a fruity salad.

I can't use mayo because it's usually loaded with soy oil. Spreadable cream cheese works well in lots of sandwiches for me. I like the pesto idea and the roasted garlic.

Man that would be killer.

Make your own mayo with another oil.
