Ingredients
  • 12oz Chicken-OK…that’s a broad term…. You “could” cook it from scratch and cut it up. You “could” cheat like I do and buy the shredded rotisserie chicken by the pound on the Whole Foods Salad bar. You “could” save up leftover cooked chicken- just throw it in a freezer bag until you have enough to make a batch. You “could” go buy a rotisserie chicken and pull all the meat off then take the rest of that bird and save it for bone broth. So… bottom line… get yer chicken from whatever method you prefer. Chop it, cube it, dice it, shred it… whatever “shape” you prefer.
  • 1tbsp Minced fresh herbs-Thyme, Tarragon or Rosemary… Do all the same or combine
  • 1/3cup Diced apples
  • 1/3cup Diced red grapes
  • 1/4cup Diced red onions-Or green onions
  • 1/3cup Diced celery
  • 1/3cup Chopped nuts-Pecans, walnuts or almonds are all a great choice
  • 1cup Mayo-Make your own or buy whatever type suits your preferences. I happen to love the brand “Just Mayo” which is egg, dairy, soy & gluten free. It is creamy…dreamy…goodness.
  • 1pinch Salt & pepper-To taste
Instructions
  1. Mix all the ingredients up in a bowl, get to desired creaminess by adding more mayo until you get it just right
Recipe Notes

Do whatever you want with it:

  • spread on crackers. I happen to be slightly addicted to the “Mary’s Gone Crackers” brand when I am indulging in a few grains
  • make a sandwich with whatever bread suits your diet
  • wrap in a piece of lettuce leaf
  • remove avocado from ½ of skin-chop it-mix it in with ½ cup of your prepared chicken salad and return it all to the empty ½ of the avocado skin. It sure looks pretty like that for a shindig!
  • top it with cucumber, sprouts, tomato or avocado slices
  • or just dig in with a fork right out of the mixing bowl!
