From the “what do I do with it?” files, I’ve put together a healthy recipe for tarragon chicken salad to show you just one of the many wonderful ways in which you can use garden-grown tarragon in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Tarragon is an herb that many Americans aren’t familiar with, and that’s a shame. It’s often used in French cuisine, and the first time I tasted this delicacy was at a restaurant headed by a French chef.<\/p>\n

I fell in love with the sweet, slightly tangy taste of tarragon that day. Since then, anytime I have chicken, I load it up with dried tarragon from my pantry.<\/p>\n

Tarragon can be fussy to grow here in Virginia, so many gardening books recommend that for southern gardeners, a variety called Mexican tarragon or Texas tarragon can be grown instead. I grew Mexican tarragon in my herb garden this year and it thrived in the hot climate and slightly sandy soil where I grow my herbs.<\/p>\n
