As written, this is way too dry. I used 1/2 c. mayonnaise instead of 1/4 c., and I really think I could have added more. I would have liked to try the tarragon but I didn't have any.

This was good but I didn't add the optional tarragon. I had to add a bit more mayo for our taste. We also found this a bit salty. I would half the seasoning salt next time. We all enjoyed this for lunch.

I made this using some deli bought chicken and some chicken left over from recipe #176707 which gave it a hint of garlic (would recommend using a garlic mayonnaise if you were wanting this taste), I served some wrapped in flat mountain bread with lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber to the DS and DM and I had mine mixed in with penne pasta and green salad on the side. Delicious thank you Kana Kahuna, made for Healthy Choices ABC 2008.

True deli chicken salad recipe BUT I left out the tarragon. Not only is it one of the two herbs I hate, but I have never tasted it in a NYC deli's chicken salad and I have tasted many. I actually went with a smidgen of extra mayo and used breast, thigh and a bit of leg meat, being very careful not to include anything but meat (no skin, fat or tendons.) I have been searching for an authentic recipe for a while and now I've found it. Thanks Kana.

The tarragon was a new taste for me and I don't think it is a keeper. We ate the salad, and it was just OK. I don't think I will be making this recipe again. Sorry. I'll try another recipe next time.
