Okay guys, I have promised to share this Summery Tarragon Chicken Salad recipe a gagillion times and now I am!!! Summer is here, so perfect timing – right?
You see, I often make recipes without really measuring. I know, I am sorry. Every time I would go to make this, I would throw it together, take photos and be like, “Dang it! I forgot to measure again!” Well, not this time. I measured for you. You’re welcome. No, really. Every one that eats this chicken salad LOVES it! If you don’t like Tarragon, we can’t be friends. Just kidding, I still love you. But it is SO flippin’ good in this! Maybe give it another shot? OR omit it and just don’t tell me about it 🙂
Go make this! Of course, the conversation always gets started in the comments below!

This Summery Tarragon Chicken Salad is so light, refreshing and perfect for those hot Summer days. The Tarragon really brightens up an otherwise 'meh' chicken salad. Enjoy!

- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh tarragon I don't recommend dry here. Omit if don't have it
- 1 1/2 cup cooked chicken cut into bite size pieces
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise preferably homemade
- 1/2 cup grapes organic
- pince Celtic Sea Salt & Pepper To taste
- Finely Chop the celery stalk and the 1/4 cup of red onion (this is usually 1/4 of an onion for me).
- Mince the Tarragon. It does not have to be perfect, but you don't want a whole leaf of it in the salad 🙂
- Next, dice the chicken into bite size pieces.
- Measure out 1/3 cup of mayo and add that in - It is great if you can make and use homemade (recipe and video of how easy coming soon!). Primal Kitchen makes a clean version with avocado oil.
- Now, dice the grapes. You can halve them or quarter them - it really depends on the size of grape. I like to use red grapes for color and sweetness. 21 DSD'ers - simply omit the grapes and this is #21DSD compliant. Of note - you really want to try to choose organic here. Conventional are one of the top fruits sprayed heavily with pesticides. If you can't, I understand and have been there many times. I try to do a white vinegar and water soak on them for a little bit to cut some of the gunk off.
- Add a pinch or two of Celtic Sea Salt or Real Salt and Pepper to taste. Some of you like more, some less. 🙂 Fold it all together and try, try, try not to eat it all in one sitting! 🙂
