For more than 20 years this salad was enormously popular at Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten’s specialty food store in East Hampton, N.Y. We’ve adapted it slightly by decreasing the mayonnaise and adding more raisins. It has a kick from the curry powder and is perfect served with whole-grain bread. Adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style by Ina Garten, photographs by Maura McEvoy (Potter, $35).
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 dry white wine
1/4 cup Major Grey’s chutney

1 cup chopped celery
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
Roasted, salted cashews (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder and salt. Add chicken, celery, green onions and raisins; mix gently. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Add cashews before serving, if desired. Serves 8.
