Begin by taking your cooked chicken breast, which should be cooled and chopped. Place it in a medium mixing bowl. If you’re using leftover chicken, this is a great way to repurpose it.
Add the chopped celery and chives to the bowl. The celery adds a satisfying crunch, while the chives offer a mild onion flavor.
Next, toss in the quartered grapes and chopped apple. These sweet additions will brighten the flavors of the salad.
Sprinkle in the chopped pecans. Their nutty taste and crunchiness will enhance the texture of the salad.
Now, the time has come to add the creamy dressing. Pour in the paleo mayonnaise and yellow mustard. This combination will give your salad a rich and tangy flavor.
Gently fold all the ingredients together until they’re well combined. Be careful not to mash the grapes or apple.
At this point, taste the salad. If you desire more creaminess, feel free to add a bit more mayonnaise or mustard according to your preference.
Once everything is blended to your liking, it’s time to serve! Spoon the salad onto slices of fresh tomatoes. This not only adds flavor but gives the dish a beautiful presentation.
Finally, enjoy your Skinny Mustard Chicken Salad. It’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a picnic!
