Tarragon Chicken Salad
This recipe is a sophisticated spin on traditional chicken salad. That’s mostly thanks to tarragon, a leafy-green herb that smells amazing.

- ½ cup diced jicama, from ¼ medium jicama
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh shallot or red onion
- 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, from about ½ a lemon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup chopped apple, skin on or halved grapes
- Chopped almonds or pecans, optional
Instructions
- Place the shredded chicken in a bowl and combine the jicama, shallot, tarragon, chives, grapes or apple, lemon juice and light mayonnaise. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss well.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature on a bed of greens or sandwiched between two slices of whole grain toast.
