Savory Tarragon Chicken Salad
So Publix makes this AWESOME Chicken Salad with Tarragon and Almonds, but it costs like $4 and I can get a large can of chicken at Aldi's for $1.89. Not to mention, Publix's Chicken Salad has a ton of calories because they are quite liberal with the mayo. So, I decided to buy some Tarragon and see if I could make something that tasted similar, but had a lot less calories from using less mayo (or light mayo). As it happens, I had some raw almonds in the pantry. So, I threw together some chicken, mayo, chopped almonds, tarragon and some garlic powder. I was a bit disappointed at first because it didn't seem to taste the same, but after having it for the second time once it had some time to sit in the fridge, it's perfect. It tastes EXACTLY the same. Which is totally awesome because I will never have to buy the expensive $4 chicken salad again. I was so excited about it that I just had to tell you all... and now my phone alarm went off and I have a baby shower to go to that I will be late to. Oops!
