Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.
I looked several different places for recipes matching these criteria and came up empty handed.  So, I decided to make up my own recipe.  These sandwiches turned out great with lots of color, flavor, and crunchiness.  Served on buttermilk rolls, they were just what I was aiming for.  Several people commented on them and wanted the recipe, and more than one person went back for seconds.  Try them out and you'll see why!
