Tarragon Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Fresh tarragon infuses this picnic-perfect chicken salad with lovely anise notes. However, feel free to separate part of the salad into a bowl before adding the tarragon for a couple of kid-friendlier servings.

Needs scallions. Scallions and tarragon are a great pair in a chicken salad. Without them, salad is just okay. Also needs to be made an hour or so before serving so flavors can marry. I also prefer fennel to celery but that's just a personal preference - adds a different licorice profile from the tarragon. Great on a horizontally sliced fresh, crunchy French baguette.
PS My kids grew up with tarragon and other herbs and unusual foods, as very small children. Never thought they were yucky or different.
Quick and easy but not our favorite CL chicken salad. We really like Creamy Chicken Salad (May 2011) so we'll stick with that one.
