Ingredients

6 cups skinless and boneless cooked chicken or 6 cups cooked turkey, cut into bite size pieces
salt
freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon light olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon finely cut tarragon leaves or 1/4 teaspoon fragrant dried tarragon
1 cup tender celery, diced

1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
2 hard-boiled eggs

Season the chicken or turkey in a large mixing bowl with the salt, pepper, and oil.
Add lemon juice, herbs, celery, onions, romaine and optional walnuts- mix well.

Let mixture marinate for at least 10 minutes, tossing several times.
Drain any accumulated liquid out of the salad, then fold in just enough mayonnaise to coat the ingredients.

Note: Salad may be prepared a day in advance; cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, free-range chicken, crisp celery, sweet grapes, and crunchy almonds for the best flavor and texture.
Cook the chicken perfectly: Overcooked chicken is dry and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. Poaching or grilling the chicken breasts is a great way to ensure they stay moist and tender.
Use a variety of textures and flavors: The combination of tender chicken, crisp celery, sweet grapes, and crunchy almonds creates a delightful variety of textures and flavors in this salad.
Make it your own: Feel free to customize the salad to your liking. Add other ingredients like crumbled bacon, diced hard-boiled eggs, or chopped fresh herbs. You can also adjust the amount of mayonnaise or yogurt to achieve your desired consistency.
