A delightful salad combining the crunch of apples and celery with the savory flavor of chicken, perfect for a light meal.
Dice the apples, celery, and green onions into bite-sized pieces.
To prevent the apples from browning, you can toss them in a little lemon juice.
Combine the diced apples, celery, green onions, dried cranberries, and cooked chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the chicken is shredded or diced evenly for a uniform texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and tarragon.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad base and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the ingredients.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Garnish with additional dried cranberries or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for presentation.
