Ina Garten Chicken Salad Recipe

You get a lush combination of roasted chicken, grapes, and walnuts, all tied together with a subtly aromatic tarragon dressing.
What sets Ina’s recipe apart is its simplicity—you only need a handful of ingredients to create something extraordinary.
I’ve found that roasting the chicken first ensures maximum flavor and tenderness.
You’re going to love how grapes introduce the perfect hint of sweetness, while the walnuts bring a bit of crunch.
Try serving it on a bed of greens or your favorite bread for a satisfying lunch.
