Notes

I love this chicken salad recipe...... Its easy to make, the tarragon with the sweetness of the raisins it out of this world! I love to start my day with lots of animal fat but mid day, I really enjoy a high protein lunch. This recipe makes meal planning simple and provides a great lunch idea of the week.

Total oxalate content for the whole batch is 46 mg. If you make 8 servings that comes to 6 mg of oxalate and 12 servings comes to 4 mg of oxalate.

Its so tasty on an egg wrap with cheese, toasted.... Or on sourdough and I really enjoy a nice crispy piece of romaine lettuce topped with chicken salad!

Nutritional Notes:

This chicken salad recipe is so delicious and packed with tarragon and sweet raisins! Chicken is high in essential nutrients like protein, niacin, selenium, phosphorus, and various B vitamins such as B6 and B12. A good quality mayo is made with good fats, salt, fat soluble vitamins and is absolutely lovely when mixed with chicken. As we age protein is essential to maintain bones and muscles, this meal allows for a nice punch of protein mid-day to stabilize your blood sugar and provide your body with good building blocks. Its also low in oxalate per serving and that allows you to maintain and absorb more nutrients.
