Tarragon Chicken Salad

If you don't enjoy food posts, I apologize. We've been on a cooking kick at our house lately and I like sharing what we've tried. So....here's another recipe! Since I can't remember where I found it, it will have to go uncredited. The only change I made was to omit the celery.


Tarragon Chicken Salad

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped yellow squash
1/3 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 package (5 oz.) spring salad mix
Bread toasts, optional

Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in small bowl until smooth.

Combine chicken, red onion, squash, carrot, celery and tarragon in large bowl. Add mayonnaise mixture; stir until blended. Divide salad mix and chicken salad among 4 serving plates. Serve with toasts, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

Without the celery is good, I'm allergic to it. I wonder if you could use tuna instead of chicken?

PS Many thanks for your latest correspondance.

Will you come to my house and cook for me? LOL! It's too hot to turn on the stove, in my opinion. I admire your stamina. I'm zapped with this heat. Watering my tomatoes does me in each morning. LOL! Beautiful sandwich! Blessings!

Did you like the yellow squash in the salad? I've never used uncooked squash in a recipe. The picture is beautiful.
