Chicken Salad

Paleo Chicken Salad

2 1/2 cups cooked & shredded chicken breast meat (leftover rotisserie chicken works great & saves time)

1 cup seedless grapes, sliced in half

1/2 -1 cup chopped raw pecans or slivered raw almonds, toasted

1/2 cup finely sliced celery

2 tbsp very finely diced sweet onion

1/2 cup Paleo mayo (more or less to your taste, I use just enough to wet my chicken salad without everything swimming in mayo)

1/2 tsp sea salt 

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 tsp celery seed

*optional: 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon

dash cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and serve over fresh greens or wrapped in lettuce.
