Green Goddess Chicken Salad

Not every chicken salad is created equal. Some are greasy, gross, and just plain nasty! Homemade chicken salad, however, is DELICIOUS and a total game changer!

This twist on the classic is so refreshing and tastes a lot more fancy that it really is!

The combination of fresh basil in the Creamy Basil Dip with the avocado and crunchy celery is perfection!

It’s perfect inside a spinach wrap, spread on crackers, or smothered between some slices of bread…or better yet, a croissant – definitely not paleo, but a good, buttery croissant would be worth the splurge!

Add this Green Goddess Chicken Salad to your next cookout spread or picnic for a good-for-you dish packed with protein, healthy fats, and tons of flavor!
