Tarragon Chicken Salad With Pecans And Fruit Recipes
TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD
Already have a go-to chicken salad recipe? No matter, you're still going to want to give this one a try. Our Tarragon Chicken Salad isn't quite as straightforward as a classic chicken salad recipe, but it's well worth the extra ingredients and preparation. The recipe starts with a host of crunchy goodness thanks to chopped pecans, Granny Smith apples, celery, and red onion. The dressing is livened up with the addition of the zest and juice of a lemon and chopped fresh tarragon. While the tarragon might be a little outside of your comfort zone, we definitely think you should give it a try. Just one little ingredient can take your ho-hum recipe to the next level-and tarragon is just the ticket in this chicken salad recipe. Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the dish; the crunch and flavor that results will be well worth the quick effort. Make our Tarragon Chicken Salad for your next baby shower or bridal shower and it will be the hit of the party. Just be sure to whip up an extra batch to have at home too-you won't be able to resist this stuff.

FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD WITH TARRAGON
Chicken salad often finds its way to my summer menus, served on greens or a croissant. I think this one is just a little special. It's sweet and juicy from the apples and grapes, a little savory from the tarragon, crunchy from the pecans and celery, and lightened up a bit with some yogurt.

TARRAGON-THYME CHICKEN SALAD W/C. GINGER, PECANS, & CRAISINS
A throw together salad when I didn't know what to do with 3 cooked bone-in tarragon, thyme chicken breasts -- I had no celery or green onion, so I improvised using celery seed and onion powder. Would probably taste even better with chopped celery and some green onion! :) If you dislike mayo, try it with half sour cream and half mayo -- you might like it!

STRAWBERRY TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD
After thinking about creating this salad for some time, one spring I used my homegrown strawberries and fresh tarragon to do a little experimenting. It didn't take me very long to come up with a winner! My husband enjoyed my creation as much as I did, and now we can't wait for strawberry season to come around each year. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
