"In fact, it makes pink taste great."

The sandwich, featuring the recently introduced Boar's Head EverRoast Oven Roasted Chicken Breast,  is made with a salad of bite-sized pieces of chicken, chopped celery and raspberry vinaigrette, layered with Boar's Head Lacey Swiss Cheese, leafy green lettuce and fresh sliced strawberries served on a croissant.
