Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad

With the weather warming up I have been loving no heat meals and this chicken salad wrap is my go to right now. It is the perfect combination of sweet & salty. I love prepping it to have for lunches for the week and eating it in a wrap with greens and pickled onions.

Ingredients
 

  • 1-1.5 lb chicken breasts, shredded
  • 4 celery stalks, diced
  • cup cranberries, unsweetned
  • cup walnuts
  • 1/3-1/2 cup avocado mayo
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Make the chicken salad. Add together shredded chicken, 1/3 cup avocado Mayo, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, celery stalks diced, handful of cranberries, handful of walnuts, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix and enjoy! Mix ingredients until fully combined, adjust seasonings to taste. Serve the cranberry walnut chicken salad in a wrap, with almond flour crackers, over greens, or on sourdough.

Notes

  • To save time, make chicken ahead of time or buy a rotisserie chicken.
  • Make sure to choose a whole30 approved avocado oil mayo. I love Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen Foods.
  • Have fun with this  cranberry chicken salad! Sometimes I love adding in apples in place of the cranberries. You can also add in fresh herbs like dill.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
