3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped pickles or cornichons

2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
Mustard Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken is a great option, or you can boil or bake chicken breasts.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.

  • To make a creamy chicken salad, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the mixture.
  • For a healthier version of chicken salad, omit the mayonnaise and use Greek yogurt instead. You can also add more vegetables, such as chopped celery or carrots.
