Chopped tarragon, bacon & chicken salad recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 lean bacon rashers
  • 100g fresh or frozen pea
  • 1 large avocado, cut into small chunks
  • 100g roasted chicken, shredded
  • 1 celery heart, stalks removed, thinly sliced, leaves reserved
  • 2 tsp chopped tarragon
  • 5 spring onions, thinly sliced

For the dressing

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white balsamic or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • pinch of sugar

Method

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat until very hot. Add the bacon and cook until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper until it’s crisp enough to crumble easily.

  • To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients with a pinch of sea salt in a bowl. Blanch the peas in boiling salted water for 30 secs. Drain, running under cold water for a few mins, and set aside.

  • Put the avocado, chicken, celery slices and leaves, tarragon, spring onions, peas, and bacon in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and gently toss to combine.
