Harvest Chicken Salad with Herbed Aioli {Paleo, Whole30}

Sharing is caring!

Whole 30 No Added Sugar

This Paleo and Whole30 Harvest Chicken Salad is packed with so much flavor and is a breeze to throw together.  A savory sweet combo that’s great for easy make-ahead lunches yet fancy enough to serve to guests. 

Every year after Thanksgiving, usually either on Saturday or Sunday, I tell myself that I’m DONE with leftovers.

Enough is enough, right?!  Except that even after the last of the leftovers are gone and I’m sure there’s NO chance I’ll crave anything harvest-y for awhile, well, I start craving leftovers all over again.

Which is why it always feels like the perfect time to make a good, harvest chicken salad (or turkey salad!) with all the yumminess of Thanksgiving.  All the yumminess, less of the “stuffed” feeling, you know?!  A delicious, Whole30 harvest chicken salad is where it’s at!

This one is super simple but really flavorful at the same time.  First, we have cooked chicken OR leftover turkey – whatever you feel like.

Second, we have chopped apples, shredded brussels sprouts, and dried cranberries.  Of course, you can throw in other chopped veggies too if you want – the more the merrier when it comes to veggies in this chicken salad!

Third, we’re making an easy herbed aioli with homemade mayo, fresh garlic and herbs.  If you haven’t tried making my FAST and delicious homemade mayo recipe yet, now is the time!

The secret to making FAST homemade mayo is an immersion blender.  It allows you to literally just put all the ingredients in a tall container or jar, and blend it all up in under a minute!

Homemade mayo totally changes the game whether you’re doing a Whole30 or just eating paleo, since it’s the base for so many dips, dressings, and even sauces.  I’ve had this immersion blender for 5 years and it still works perfectly!

Chicken salad of any kind is one of those things my family goes wild over every time.  Funny because it’s also one of the easiest to prepare!

It’s also perfect to make ahead of time for weekday lunches, but even “fancy” enough to serve to guests.

Serve it with a green salad, fruit, or in lettuce wraps – it makes a great light meal that’s packed with protein, good fats, veggies and fruit.

I hope you’re ready for a fast, tasty, and healthy harvest chicken salad – let’s go!

    This chicken salad came out great! Omitted the Brussels sprouts due to sensitive stomach, and used chopped grapes instead of dried cranberries (what I had in the fridge). Served over a bed of fresh baby spinach- delicious! Will make again!

    This is the best piece I have read, when everyone else addressing this won’t deviate from the formulaic doggerel. You have a way with words, and I will follow you as I enjoy your writing.
