This was so delish, thank you! I was craving some chicken salad and so happy I found your recipe without mayonnaise!

I made this for my family today and it’s very delicious and nutritious! I used almonds and cucumber instead of walnuts and celery because it’s what I had. I even skipped the honey. So, so yummy! And fast!! Thanks!

My boyfriend and I just made this. For the chicken, I cooked it in a casserole dish coated in olive oil, italian herbs, and garlic with butter, garlic, and fresh thyme on top of the chicken. Baked it for 40 minutes and combined it with the chicken salad recipe – HEAVEN!

Pretty nice!

May I suggest another recipe with similar ingredients?
Back home, we use to make this chicken recipe every week:

(for 4 portions)
1 chicken breast (boiled or grilled)
1 medium size celery (the root part) – finely grated
125g mix of equal parts sour cream & yogurt (full fat)
200g mayo ( i honestly prefer to put just a couple of spoons of mustard and skip the mayo)
juice from half a lemon
sal and grinded pepper to taste

optional: 100g Cheddar or pressed cheese
1 small apple – finely grated

mix it all together and let it sit in the fridge for 2-3h.

eat with vegetable sticks (bell pepper, celery sticks, carrots)

I’m a little late to the party on this one, but I just made this for the first time. It is GREAT! I don’t like “traditional” mayo-based chicken salad, so I really enjoy the light, sort of sweet flavor of this one. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

In reply to Kymberly Lynch. I've seen conflicting info on it, but I've noticed that some people do better not eating raw greens…

I’ve read spinach shouldn’t be eaten raw. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?

In reply to Yeager. How about a homemade "mayo"? Use MCT oil, Braggs ACV and egg yolk in a blender. Add flavor with dry mustard powder and a pinch of cayenne...maybe a little turmeric, too.

Can you use Greek plain yogurt?

Homemade mayo works great too! https://wellnessmama.com/1739/healthy-mayonnaise/

What can I use in place of the yogurt? I’m not supposed to have it because I tested to be too high in one of the cultures.

In reply to Elizabeth. Well, it comes from a can, at least in my world, so perhaps it's not the best choice, but I add water chestnuts to my chicken salad because my granddaughters love it. Nice and crunchy, and seems to absorb the flavor of whatever it's in.

In reply to Elizabeth. I've used finely chopped cucumber... its crunchy and the kids usually like it

Would you be able to suggest an alternative to the celery? We are not big fans and it’s the only thing that puts the kids off – they eat the rest, but pick around the celery lol. I also added bacon to it as we were a bit short on chicken 🙂
Gorgeous dressing! Many thanks for this recipe and your blog – been grain free for 5 days now and aside from a touch of carb-flu I feel great!! xx
