Curry Chicken Salad (Paleo & Whole30 Compliant)

This recipe for Curry Chicken Salad can be found in my first book Against All Grain, but I am sharing it with you here too! My great-grandmother used to make a version of this salad for family outings to the country fair. According to my Grandma, she would wrap it up in pretty bowls. She would bring real china and napkins instead of the usual plastic picnic wear!

This is a great recipe for anyone starting a Whole30 next month. You can make a big batch and have it throughout the week for lunch. It packs huge flavor and it's also super simple to make! See the rest of my Whole30 compliant recipes here on the blog, or take a look in all 3 of my books for dozens of Whole30 compliant recipes!
