After having the Sonoma Chicken Salad at Costco I was on a search to find a recipe to duplicate the taste. I found a good recipe on Wholefoods.com and tweaked it a bit. Of course, it's not exactly the same but I think it is very close. My sister says it reminds her of thanksgiving.

A classic adapted from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook. I believe they use a conola oil mayonnaise, but I think any good quality brand will do. You can, also, try it with grilled chicken.
