This Paleo Chicken Salad is simple and delicious. This is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch. There are so many flavors and textures in this Paleo Chicken Salad that make it over-the-top delicious. Even if you’re not a Paleo eater, you can make this recipe with regular olive oil blend mayonnaise. Wrap it up in lettuce and enjoy.

Super!!! I love the touch of tarragon honestly!
This looks so delicious!!!
Thank you Minnie, I love tarragon! 🙂
Thank you Melissa! Let me know if you try the recipe and how you like it. 🙂
I love chicken salad with fruit and nuts–yum!
This looks so yummy and similiar to a chicken salad I make with unsweetened dried cranberries and granny smith apples. I wonder if instead of the grapes, I could sub with peaches…. 🙂
Yum, Amy, that sounds great too!!
Looks yummy. Want to make it for a baby shower. How many does your recipe serve?
This recipe only serves 4-6 people (for regular lunch size portions), so double/triple if needed. 🙂
LOVED – we didn’t toast the almonds, use celery seed or use tarragon but it was still EXCELLENT. I used your Paleo Mayo recipe and mixed it up. We divided it into 4 servings and had it for lunches wrapped in lettuce leaves. AMAZING.
i don’t get it. were chickens domesticated back then?
Has anyone tried to subsititute Greek Yogurt for the Mayo?
Barbara, the yogurt would be good, it would just be a little more tangy.
