Delicious Spring Chicken Salad Recipe

This recipe is a delicious twist on traditional chicken salad. It's also a quick option for busy weeknights!

Ingredients
*1/2 pound small red-skinned potatoes, halved
*Kosher salt
*2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
*2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
*2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
*1/4 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
*Freshly ground pepper
*1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
*4 romaine hearts, torn
*1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat shredded (about 2 cups)
*1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced
*4 radishes, cut into wedges
*1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced


Directions
Place the potatoes in a small pot and cover with water. Season with salt, cover and boil until fork-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and cool.

Meanwhile, pulse the chives, tarragon, vinegar, yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and pulse to make a thick dressing.

Toss the romaine, potatoes, chicken, cucumber, radishes and bell pepper with the dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
