*I've linked my most favorite brand of artichoke hearts below. It comes in bulk, but they are so good and you'll be so grateful you have extra jars in your pantry!

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.

*Variation: this salad is great with cubed grilled or rotisserie chicken.

Serve with additional tarragon.
