  • Let steep 10 minutes, tossing several times.
  • Drain any accumulated liquid out of the salad, correct seasoning again; fold in just enough mayonnaise to" bind" the ingredients.

  1. This is very good, I used frozen cooked turkey, although for 6 cups of turkey I had to increase the mayo, this has a nice blend of spices, I used black pepper in place of white, and also found that I had to adjust the tarragon, and I reduced the parsley quite a bit. thanks...Kitten:)
     
  2. This is a wonderful recipe. I cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot first and then used both dark and white meat for this recipe. I left out the walnuts and used a red onion instead of scallions.
     
  3. This is a tasty salad! I ground up the celery and walnuts in the food processor to make it palatable for my husband. The only thing I left out was the parsley, didn't have it on hand. Thanks for a lovely lunch!
