I love this salad and have been making it for years! The only thing different about mine is that instead of the tarragon, I use about 1/8 teaspoon of celery seed. This is such a satisfying chicken salad, and is sometimes a nice change from the traditional version.

This made for a nice afternoon lunch on a spring day. I topped mine with a sprinkling of chopped pecans for added crunch. :)

This is simple and flavorful salad to make!! Made using store bought chicken strips, red onion (out of green) and forgot the tarragon, but was still good. Ate as is; no bread or crackers with it. Will make again! Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag February 2010.

This is a fabulous and easy chicken salad. I used a bit extra tarragon, because I just love that stuff. I loved all these flavors together. The flavors improved the longer it chilled. Thanx for a great lunch and use for leftover chicken!
