Chicken Salad
A healthy take on chicken salad - which can often be a sneaky spiker or be filled with seed oils.
Ingredients
Chicken Salad:
- 6 cups of shredded chicken
- 1 cup of nuts
- 1 cup of celery
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup of herbs
- 1/4 cup of green onions
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup dried unsweetened cherries
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (add more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Chia or zen basil seeds for serving (optional)
Dressing:
2-3 garlic gloves (about 1-2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
1 full lemon zested and then squeezed
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Avocado Oil Mayo
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
Process
- Combine all of the ingredients (aside from the dressing) into a bowl and mix until the larger pieces of chicken are broken up.
- Mix the dressing together, whisk until combined. Pour over the ingredients and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle some chia seeds or zen basil seeds on the top just before serving!
Tips:
- Eat on its own, over greens, or serve with flackers
- We usually just buy a rotisserie chicken or use leftover chicken from another meal and shred it to make this recipe easier
- Any nuts will work. We like pistachios and slivered almonds
- Our favorite herbs for this recipe are mint, basil and parsley but choose your own favorites
- This recipe can be made fully dairy-free by subbing an additional 1/2 cup of Avocado Oil Mayo in place of the Greek Yogurt
