tarragon chickpea salad sandwich

In the sorority house, we always knew it was a special occasion when the chef would make tarragon chicken salad sandwiches. I nibbled these little sandwiches when I was decked out in pastels, wearing the most subtle heels I own, with a signature half up-do. Just like Reba said, "I's gonna be a lady someday, but I didn't know how...".  Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down.  I'd be on my best behavior, at my most civilized.

The chicken salad was chock full of grapes and nuts, laced with tarragon, and served on pillowy and sweet little brioche rolls. This sandwich recipe is a twist on the chickpea of the sea salad sandwich, and is less savory, sweeter and juicier, and texturally more interesting. This sandwich would be great on a menu for a baby or bridal shower, served on mini-rolls.

So fancy.
