Have never had the Whole Food's version of this, but found the recipe delightful, we eat it with wheat crackers as a stand alone lunch and was very satified with the grape, nut texture and flavor. An over all keeper of a recipe, and will be used again. thank you for posting this yummy chicken salad.

We've never had Whole Foods' Sonoma chicken salad so I can't compare this recipe to that, but we thought this was a very yummy. We really loved the sweetness of the grapes and crunchiness of the pecans. My grapes were huge, so I quartered them to make it easier to eat. I served this over fresh lettuce from my garden and it was so delish!! Thank you for sharing this keeper of a recipe. <br/>**Made for 2011 Fall PAC**

Delicious! Have a question. Why is the mayonnaise included in the nutritional value. It is "one cup" in the recipe. I read your nutritional information. It says nutritional value is not calculated if ingredient is vague regarding amount. So if there is one cup of mayonnaise in the recipe why is it excluded from the nutritional value of the recipe. Thanks
