Reviews
I really liked this salad and so did my family. Season with salt as you serve. I used white wine (Chardonnay because it is what I had on hand, but I look forward to trying this with white balsamic vinegar. Fresh tarragon really made it special.
This was a wonderful, light salad which complimented the chicken sandwich perfectly. It reminded me of the salads I grew up with….simple and delicious.
