  1. I sometimes use red seedless grapes instead of green and add a few toasted and chopped pecans or walnuts. This is my all time favorite chicken salad!
     
  2. My family loves this salad! My 10 year old picky boy asks for it all the time.
     
  3. This was really tasty. The tarragon gave it a unique taste that I was unsure about at first. After it chilled for a few hours it all came together and was a big hit. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. not exceptional, but easy and good for kids lunches. I felt it was missing that extra zing!
