Roasted Chicken Salad with Dijon and Tarragon- Being classically French trained, the flavors in this salad feel like home. Many chicken salad recipes that I've seen rely too heavily on dressing and overly powerful seasoning, where as this one allows the taste of the chicken to be the center stage star.
The green freshness of the tarragon and chive sings alongside the tangy bite of Dijon, with just enough mayonnaise to bring some creamy texture to the mix. When your teeth crunch into the diced bits of onion, releasing sweetness, the crisp celery is also there to cleanse your palate, before it becomes overwhelmed. Try it out, I think that you'll agree that this is a truly sublime version of chicken salad.
This recipe is so super simple, just a little bit of knife work, mixing it up, and "Bob's your uncle!", (who's Bob, he's not my uncle. sorry...), make a sandwich, pile it onto some fresh greens, or just eat it with a fork, it's that good!
