Directions

Combine the mustard, vinegar, and oil with almost all the fresh tarragon and a dash of salt in pepper.
tir or shake in a jar to combine and emulsify a bit. Carefully stir into the blueberries and chicken, careful not to bruise or pierce the berries to create a purple blue massacre.
Once the “chicken salad” is set, gently toss with the asparagus and spinach and add the remaining tarragon and salt and pepper.
