Lemon Chicken Salad

This is a nice, light summertime dish. It’s my go-to for a picnic, but also makes a quick lunch. I like to serve it with my new favorite almond flour tortillas from Must B Nutty or homemade wraps. It’s also good with Mary’s Gone Crackers, which are gluten-free but not grain-free. Or serve it inside half an avocado or with lettuce boats.

You can use any cooked chicken with this. My preference is to buy a whole free-range chicken to make bone broth, and then use the meat in this dish.

Ingredients:

• ~4 cups chicken, cooled and chopped into bite sized pieces
• 4-5 stalks celery, sliced
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 green onions, sliced
• zest from 1 lemon
• juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Primal Kitchen Mayo is my favorite, or you can make your own)
• 3 Tb whole grain mustard (read the labels to make sure it’s gluten-free)
• salt & pepper

Process:

Combine all ingredients and season to taste with salt & pepper. Keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days.

Enjoy!

Note: for paleo or Whole30, you can make your own mayonnaise, or use Primal Kitchen or Tessemae’s. Look for mustard that is sugar-free and gluten-free.
