This Paleo Mediterranean chicken salad is gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free and less than 6 carbs per serving. This fast, easy chicken salad makes a great meal at home or if you choose, pack it in a lunchbox for a meal on the go! It’s also a great way to use up any left-over chicken from my roast chicken recipe or my stock recipe.

Paleo Mediterranean Chicken Salad
I love the combination of tomatoes and basil. Intensify the tomato by using sun-dried tomatoes, add in some olives and green onions and yum! It’s like a trip to Italy in your mouth!
I made the final test version of this recipe last night, but I only had one and a half cups of chicken, so I had to cut the recipe in half. Big mistake! I could have devoured it all myself! So, make sure you make enough or your family may be fighting over it at the dinner table.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

How many carbs, fat and proteins?
This is an older recipe that had more carbs than I liked, so I recently updated it. The update on this recipe had enough changes that I published it as a new recipe. The new version is here. This is a lower carb version of the recipe and has nutritional information.
