Strawberry Tarragon Chicken Salad image

After thinking about creating this salad for some time, one spring I used my homegrown strawberries and fresh tarragon to do a little experimenting. It didn't take me very long to come up with a winner! My husband enjoyed my creation as much as I did, and now we can't wait for strawberry season to come around each year. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

This chicken salad is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love the combination of sweet and savory flavors. I usually add a little bit of chopped celery for extra crunch.

This chicken salad is the perfect make-ahead lunch or dinner. It's easy to prepare and the flavors only get better as it sits. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then enjoy it throughout the week.

I'm not a big fan of tarragon, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did! The tarragon flavor was subtle and really complemented the other ingredients. This is a great recipe for a light and refreshing summer lunch.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The chicken salad was still very good and I would definitely make it again, but I would probably use less strawberries next time.
