Whole30 Harvest Chicken Salad
Chicken salad will always be one of my favorite meals to prep for the week. It is so easy and packed with both flavor and nutrients. This Harvest Chicken salad is my current favorite flavor combination. The tarragon is what really makes it stand out! You and your family will love this Paleo and Whole30 meal.
What You Need:
- Chicken – I love to keep things easy and use a rotisserie chicken
- Apples – Fuji or Gala apples are my favorite for this salad
- Dried Cranberries – I use this one to keep it Whole30 compliant
- Pecans – I love the pecans with the cranberry and tarragon, but you can switch it up too!
- Celery – I just love the crunch it adds
- Green Onion – It adds great onion flavor without being too strong
- Mayo – This is my favorite Whole30 compliant brand
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Just a splash brings it all together
- Tarragon – This is such a fresh and beautiful herb that pairs so nicely with the flavors in this chicken salad
I love to prep this chicken salad on Sunday so that it is ready for lunch throughout the week. I usually double the recipe because my husband and I love it so much. We enjoy this salad straight out of the bowl, served over fresh greens or even in a lettuce cup. It will stay fresh in your fridge for up to 5 days and you can add a little mayo in if it dries out at all.
