This recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of salt in the dressing mixture. Way too much. In fact it was inedible. However I made it again without all that salt and it was very good. It much be a mistake in the recipe.

Whoa, Ina, back off the salt. Two teaspoons is WAY too much. I used Kosher and it was so salty, I had to wash all the dressing off and start over with half the salt. Maybe not salting the chicken before it cooks would also help. Also, I needed to kick up the flavor by adding curry.

This is about the best I have tasted in some time. All ingredients come together well and it is super simple to make. I made a sandwich out of it too. Really good. Thanks for the program.

Somebody else commented that KOSHER SALT is NOT AS SALTY as regular salt. There's a big difference. If you use the same amount of table salt in place of kosher, it will be way too salty.

I added curry to this salad and it really zipped the flavor up nicely. Grapes and curry are always a nice combination.

We reduced the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream. It was delicious!

I am constantly on the lookout for a really good chicken salad recipe and I was just not that impressed with this one. I certainly would expect more flavor if I was purchasing this from a specialty food store and so it is difficult to believe that this is exactly what they sold at the Barefoot Contessa stores. Fresh Market chicken salads are far superior to this and I would expect even more from the Barefoot Contessa. There is just nothing memorable about it. I think the salt content - kosher or not - is WAY off and I almost doubled the tarragon but still there was not enough punch.

Delicious! Saw Contessa make it on TV, had grapes I needed to use and had leftover, ready-cooked rotisserie chicken. Didn't want to stop eating, even though I am watching what I eat. I used light mayo and non-fat sour cream.

First of all, just to make it even easier, I bought a roasted chicken from my local grocer to save a step. Secondly, I bought the pecan and walnuts already roasted and glazed. Then, because I don't like salty food anyway, my experience has taught me never to follow the salt and pepper instructions in a recipe, so I salted to taste. The no-cook results were delicious! This is definitely going in my recipe box!

Just so you guys know, Kosher salt is less salty than table salt. Kosher salt is much more coarse than table salt, that's why the chicken may be salty if you use regular salt. I do believe the recipe calls for Kosher...
