Fresh tarragon, scallions and lemon add delightful flavor to the chicken salad mixture in these little tea sandwiches. Using a combination of a darker bread like pumpernickel and a lighter one such as Italian bread gives them an attractive appearance. They’re an effortless party nibble since they only take about 15 minutes to assemble which can be done ahead of time. You can prepare the sandwiches early in the day and store them, covered with lightly dampened paper towels, then with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. Let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Cut each sandwich on the diagonal to form 4 sandwich triangles, making a total of 24 triangles. Yields 2 triangles per serving.
