TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD



Tarragon Chicken Salad image

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.

TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD



Tarragon chicken salad image

Ideal for a buffet

Provided by Antony Worrall Thompson

Categories     Buffet, Side dish, Starter

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

250ml smoked streaky bacon rashers
175ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
6 cooked boneless chicken breasts , skinned and torn into strips
bunch of radishes , trimmed and sliced
English lettuces (I like Batavia), depending on their size
2 punnets of salad cress

Steps:

  • The day before, gently fry the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan for 30 minutes, until the fat turns golden. Lift on to kitchen paper to absorb excess fat, and leave to cool and crisp. Crumble into pieces and chill.
  • Put the oil, vinegar and 1⁄2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper into a screw-top jar. Put the lid on securely and shake the dressing, then keep in a cool place (not the fridge or it will go cloudy).
  • Half an hour ahead, add the tarragon to the dressing, and shake until well mixed. Tip into a bowl and toss with the chicken, radishes and bacon.
  • Tear the lettuce roughly and arrange on a platter. Snip the cress with scissors and sprinkle over, then top with the chicken.
