Ingredients:
1/2 pound of brussels sprouts (2-ish cups once sliced)
1/2 Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup quartered green grapes
1/2 cup chopped almonds
2 chicken breasts, chopped
1/2 white onion, finely diced
Vinaigrette:
2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
1 TBSP quality brown mustard
1 TBSP avocado oil
1 TBSP honey
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
few grinds of black pepper
Prep:
Cut the brussels sprouts in half and thinly slice. Do the same with the Granny Smith apple, slicing into matchsticks. The peel doesn’t bother me, so I keep it on. Grab a handful of grapes and quarter them, you should end up with about a half cup. Chop the half cup of almonds. Finely dice the white onion. Scallions would work too if you prefer a more mild onion flavor… though the white did not overpower.
I picked up a rotisserie chicken this week and used the thigh and leg meat in my Garden-Topped Portobellos. I was hoping to make a chicken salad with the breasts, so I’m high-fiving myself that I’ve actually kept to plan. Remove the breasts and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Whipping up the vinaigrette takes seconds. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over the salad and toss to bring together.
Clean, fresh and flavorful… and won’t get nasty if it sits in your fridge for a day. Great to-go lunch material!
We will definitely be trying this one. Chicken salad plus Brussels spouts AND mustard? Gotta be good!

Thank you, your recipe is fast and super tasty – Even my daughter who’s not a big salad fan liked it:) Last weekend me and my family finished the whole 8 weeks of the Paleo meal plan (http://timreviews.com/paleo-recipe) and we’re now celebrating our success with browsing and trying new paleo recipes

Congratulations on completing the plan! That’s no easy feat! Hopefully you can find more recipes your family will enjoy on my blog. I feed two kiddos this food
This is a great recipe to have at the ready for packing a quick lunch. We featured this recipe today in our Paleo Recipes Worth Sharing segment on our facebook page. You take such great pictures of your food. Do you have a photography background?
Thank you for sharing this on your page! I really do love this recipe and make it often. Good for leftovers too!
You’re gonna laugh — I take ALL my pictures with my iPhone 4S!!! No photography background either… just having fun
I gotta say, it has become one of my favorite parts of blogging.
how many calories do you think this is?
I’m not sure… I gave up counting calories a long time ago. I believe there are online calorie counters that will tally everything up for you based on the ingredients provided. Hopefully you can find something along those lines to help you out.
