If you are a regular follower here you know I love my chicken salads. It’s my favorite healthy go-to lunch.
I like to make a big batch of it at the beginning of the week and just keep it on hand. It also works for dinner in a pinch, which is great!
I know…chicken salad has kind of a bad wrap because it’s made with mayonnaise. But if you make your own, it suddenly becomes a healthy condiment! Use a really delicious and healthy oil (like avocado oil) and you’re good to go. It’s especially great if you’re on a high fat diet, which I usually am…ahem….I like fat. It’s seriously the best.
Anyway, I love my chicken salads over greens usually but sometimes I like to change things up a tad so the other day I made these tasty little wraps.
Super simply and easy and it felt very satisfying and I loved them.
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooled and shredded
- ¼ cup sweet onion, minced
- ½ cup craisins
- 1 small apple, diced
- ¼ cup celery, minced
- ½ teaspoon grainy mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- ½-3/4 cup mayonnaise or as much as needed to nicely coat everything
- 1 head butter lettuce
- Combine all the ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl, use as much mayo as needed to make it sort of saucy and delicious.
- Mix it all together and then select the largest butter lettuce leaves, scoop a large spoonful of the chicken salad onto the lettuce, wrap and serve.
