Tangy Tarragon Tuna Salad

I first tried this mild, creamy, tangy, sweet tuna salad at the Sweet Tomatoes restaurant in Sandy, Utah. I could swear that it had cinnamon in it and for some reason it worked very well! Unfamiliar with Tarragon, I bought some and decided to recreate this salad. I went online and found that other people had done the same. They were missing the secret ingredient that was so minimal it was almost difficult to detect - cinnamon. Tarragon is now my new favorite herb. It has a sweet, mild root beer or black licorice flavor to it that works with the creamy dressing, fresh crisp peas and flakes of tuna.

the typical tuna salads are mushy and have pickles in them. This is nothing like that. You have to try it and you will be a fan!
