Tarragon Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts

After working in the yard all day I came into the kitchen thinking that I really didn't want to cook!  I knew I had left over chicken from the night before so I put together this delicious salad with what I had in the fridge!  I have to say this came out so delicious.  The nuttiness of the walnuts and the sweetness of the grapes pair well with the chicken.  mmmmmm....you have to try this!  I just used some olive oil and white wine vinegar for a dressing but you can use whatever floats you boat!!!  Enjoy~
