Easy to make and a tasty, nutritious dish for the summer. I concur with the other reviewer who said to go a little light on the olive oil. On the other hand, I think arugula was the perfect lettuce for the salad. I skipped the pine nuts because a I don't like 'em and b to look at the price of the things you'd think they hired supermodels and CEOs to pick the nuts out of the pines. I went without a substitute but in future versions I might throw in some chopped walnuts or something.

This was a nice change from a traditional mayo based chicken salad, however, I found it much too oily. I only add the 1 cup of oil but thought the dressing could be less runny. I used currants instead of sultans. I also think a more substantial lettuce would work well with the arugula. I agree with the crostini along side-french crusty bread also good. Will try the recipe again.

I served the chicken salad on a bed of spinach next to an antipasti platter along with toasted crostini for small family gathering. What a tasty surprise this salad was! The textures were great and having chicken salad with no mayo is even better. Thank you, Emeril!

I never serve a meal item without first test driving it, but I did this time because I was running out of time....OH MY....It was fabulouse.

My guests loved it and so did I. Very easy and quite elegant. The mix with the currents and pine nuts and dressing just complimented each other. I served it for lunch with cold asparagus with walnut vinegrette.
