Chicken Salad (Paleo-Style)
I made this delicious Chicken Salad. I love Chicken Salad. This is my first attempt at a Paleo friendly recipe. I usually add chicken, apples, celery, almonds, s&p, mayo (sometimes Olive Oil, instead of Mayo). This recipe – cabbage, apples, celery, sun dried tomato, pepper, and olive oil. Another classic – REVAMPED! More color this time and great flavor!
The Ingredients:
3 chicken breast
1/2 red cabbage
1 apple, minced
2 celery, minced
1 jar of sun dried tomato
fresh ground pepper
Olive Oil
The Directions:
Boil Chicken until completely cooked. Let cool.
Shred chicken. Add all ingredients. Mix well.
*** I will drain the sun dried tomatoes next time… juice very thick and almost too Olive Oil tasting. Overall the Chicken Salad is good!
I also made Micah a batch of finger food.
Look at that color!
The Ingredients:
Peas
Carrots, chopped and cubed
zucchini
Chicken Broth (left over broth from the chicken salad chicken)
The Directions:
Add vegetables into the broth and add carrots. Boil for 5 minutes and add the rest of the vegetables.
Simple and Easy Finger Food with LOADS of Color! Just enough flavor for my 3 year old to enjoy too! Alright – me too!

Just made this chicken salad, but had no sun-dried tomatoes. I substituted marinated artichoke hearts and pecans. I also added some lemon juice. Total paleo yum!
This looks great! Thanks for sharing this, Emily!You know what else is an awsomee substitute for pasta? Eggplant and Zucchini! I use a Julianne peeler (shaves very thinly) to peel off long strips from the eggplant or Zucchini and instead of boiling, I warm them in a skillet with a little olive oil and garlic. Then plate them and pour whatever sauce I’m using over them. YUM! Since I’m the only one avoiding carbs/gluten in my family, this works great because it’s so fast and easy, I can do a portion for myself after preparing the pasta for my family. It’s so good, I don’t miss the pasta at all. Can’t wait to try your cabbage option!
