Chicken Salad Wraps

Round out these tasty wraps with almond slivers, strawberries, mini peppers and lettuce to scoop up the chicken salad. Or, try wrapping the chicken salad directly in the lettuce.

What you'll need:

  • 2 cans shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Paleo lime mayo
  • 1 sweet apple
  • 2–3 dill pickle spears, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalomata olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup raisins or apple-sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup grapes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients (except salt) in a large bowl and mix. If too dry, add mayo.
  2. Taste to make sure you have the right amount of mayo.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within three days.

Note: Try substituting canned jackfruit for the chicken and vegan mayo to make the salad vegan.
