Delicious! This was a great way to use up some left over chicken I had. I cut the celery back to one cup and since I didn't have low-fat plain yogurt on hand I subbed low fat mayo. I added some fresh lemon juice and a bit of dijon mustard along with some parsley. (similar to Tarragon Tuna Salad from this site). I left out the almonds and let this set in the fridge for a couple hours to let the flavors blend. Great on toasted whole grain bread!
This chicken salad is a great base for someone who has an afliction to mayo. I added everything in this recipe but instead of almonds i added pecans cuz thats what i had. I also added a tspn of mayo to my yogurt and sour creAM for a light tangy flavor w/o actually overpowering it with mayo. I also added freshly ground black pepper and dash or two of onion powder and i used fresh tarragon and dried chives cuz thats all i had onhand. As a person who loves chicken salad but alot of times it either tastes too chickeny or too mayoey this one is perfect and delicious! Screw the deli i will make this from now on! I also didnt measure any of my ingredianets except for the yogurt/mayo/sourcream mix.
This is tasty. I couldn't find plain yogurt so just used fat free mayo. Also since fresh chives are out of season used dried. Was really tasty and will make again. My husband ate for lunch on lettuce.
Delicious and easy! I loved the unique flavor of the tarragon. I didn't have plain yougart so just added lite sour cream till moist.
Great salad. I tried it with fresh tarragon and used the juice of half a lemon to give it a little zing.
This dish had too much celery was a little dry and lacked a little taste. Next time we'll make some adjustments with some of the ingredients to jazz it up.
This was really very good. I enjoyed the tarragon and chives a lot - nice spin to an old classic. I also sometimes finely chop a red pepper and throw that in too. Delicious. I've tried it with tuna as well and while it works it's definitely better with the chicken.
ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE!!! Staff members loved it!!
This was tasty. I didn't have yogurt or sour cream so I used mayo and it worked just fine. I love the little crunch that the almonds give and the tarragon gives it a really nice flavor. Maybe add some grape halves next time. Really nice with a slice of muenster also. Thanks for the recipe! It was just what I was looking for.
