Tarragon Chicken Salad

This salad features shredded cooked chicken mixed with chopped red onion and celery for crunch, along with fresh tarragon and parsley for herbal notes. Mayonnaise emulsifies the ingredients into a creamy mixture, while raisins add sweetness and contrast. Ground black pepper and sea salt season the salad to taste. The recipe suggests tasting and adjusting the mayonnaise and seasonings as needed. It can be enjoyed immediately or chilled beforehand.
