Just Ok

I made this last night for dinner, and both my fiance and I thought that there was definitely something missing. The yogurt/sour cream mix was nice and light but overall this salad was lacking in taste.

Very Good

I made this salad for a Wellness Lunch-n-Learn at my office and it was a huge hit. There were no leftovers, made with Tomato-Basil Pasta. Excellent choice, I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery and mixed everything just before the class.

This salad was delicious!! It was quick and easy and had great flavor. I've never tried tarragon, but I'm happy that i used it. It added a lot of flavor. It's also sooo nutritious.
