We liked this chicken salad. DH actually liked it better the next day when he took it for lunch after the flavors had awhile to meld more. This was very easy to prepare as well. We grilled some extra chicken (when making another grilled chicken recipe) to use in this salad, which worked well. I made no modifications to the ingredients. Thanks!

Wonderful salad! I used some leftover chicken, made as directed otherwise, except that I halved the recipe for 2 of us. Very simple and very tasty. I love tarragon and the combination of the tarragon vinegar, the marinated artichokes, capers and currants was really a great combo. Thanks Mamma J. Made for ZWT4.

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
