Potato, chicken and tarragon salad

Serves 4 35 min
This hearty, aromatic chicken and potato salad is quick to put together. It's good both warm and at room temperature and makes a lovely dinner with a crisp green salad on the side. Good variations include adding radishes for crunch, capers or gherkins for piquancy, and using spring instead of normal onions.
