Steps:
- The day before, gently fry the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan for 30 minutes, until the fat turns golden. Lift on to kitchen paper to absorb excess fat, and leave to cool and crisp. Crumble into pieces and chill.
- Put the oil, vinegar and 1⁄2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper into a screw-top jar. Put the lid on securely and shake the dressing, then keep in a cool place (not the fridge or it will go cloudy).
- Half an hour ahead, add the tarragon to the dressing, and shake until well mixed. Tip into a bowl and toss with the chicken, radishes and bacon.
- Tear the lettuce roughly and arrange on a platter. Snip the cress with scissors and sprinkle over, then top with the chicken.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tarragon. Fresh tarragon leaves are best, but dried tarragon can also be used. If using dried tarragon, use about 1 teaspoon for every tablespoon of fresh tarragon.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, onion, and walnuts, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, peas, or bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will make the salad tough.
- Use a good mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a creamy, rich flavor.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard.
Conclusion:
Tarragon chicken salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a sandwich, salad, or appetizer. It is perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make tarragon chicken salad that is sure to please everyone.
