Directions:Combine the chicken, celery, grapes, apples, mayonnaise and parsley in a large bowl; mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
Mayonnaisse:
Place the eggs or mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, and tarragon leaves in a food processor. Process until well blended.
Add the oil in a slow, steady stream down the feed tube, with the motor running, and process until all the oil is incorporated. (Omit this step if using mayonnaise.) The dressing will be thick and creamy.
