Chicken Salad with Almonds, Apricots and Tarragon
Report
This chicken salad blends shredded cooked chicken with chopped dried apricots and coarsely chopped almonds, all combined in a mayonnaise-based dressing flavored with fresh tarragon and dry mustard powder. The result is a creamy salad with a balance of sweet fruit, crunchy nuts, and herbal notes from tarragon, ideal for a light meal or sandwich filling.
Description
The salad is made by mixing shredded or chopped cooked chicken with dried apricots and almonds, which add texture and sweetness. Mayonnaise acts as a rich binder while chopped fresh tarragon introduces a subtle anise-like flavor. The mustard powder adds mild pungency and depth. Seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper rounds out the flavors.
The preparation requires only combining ingredients and chilling, allowing flavors to marry. The texture contrasts tender chicken with firm nuts and chewy dried apricots. This salad suits serving on greens, bread, or crackers.
