TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD
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.

CHERRY CHICKEN SALAD
After dining at a cafe in Michigan about 10 years ago, I tried duplicating this scrumptious twist on Chicken Salad at home. The cherries can be ordered on-line these days, which makes it much easier for those of us living where cherries are not readily available. Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk, if necessary.

CHERRY-TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD
I am a huge fan of chicken salad, as you can see by the large number of chicken salad recipe I have already shared. This version came from Southern Living and uses some of my favorite ingredients, tarragon and dried cherries. I think dried blueberries or cranberries could easily be substituted in this, but the fresh tarragon is a must. Dried tarrgon just will not taste the same. I prefer to use cooked breast meat in my chicken salads, but I will leave that up to you.

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.

This is a light and easy to make chicken salad. For a less tangy dressing, use light mayonnaise instead of the sour cream. Also, green onions can be substituted for the chives, if necessary.
