I don't know anyone who doesn't like a nice chicken salad. This is a lighter version of the traditional. It is loaded with fresh herbs, fruit and nuts. It goes great on a sandwich or over some greens. I added tarragon to this dish, because it is bountiful in my garden right now. If you don't like tarragon, feel free to substitute with dill or basil. Enjoy this light and refreshing salad.
