Mediterranean Chicken Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This one of my favorite lunches. I’ll make a big batch at the beginning of the week then eat it for lunch the next couple of days. It’s obvious but this chicken salad recipe is simply a launching point – get as creative as you can and add in as many flavors as you’d like!

Mediterranean Chicken Salad

I don’t particularly like a chicken salad with too much mayonnaise so I swap some of it for mustard and olive oil. I call this a Mediterranean chicken salad because I use lots of olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 – 12.5oz can chicken breast – drained well
  • 1/4 cup mayo – I use the avocado mayo
  • a big drizzle of good quality olive oil
  • 1/2 sweet onion – diced small
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sundried tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
  • 1 tablespoon capers (or sub chopped green olives)
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
  2. Taste and adjust salt/pepper to your liking.
  3. Eat immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. 
  4. I like to eat this with Blue Diamon Nut Thins, Pecan but it would be great to eat on a sandwich, on top of a salad, or keep it low carb and eat with celery sticks.

Notes

If you choose not to use the canned chicken breast and cook your own or use a rotisserie chicken you may need to adjust the mayo and mustard. The canned chicken is moist from being in the water and therefore doesn’t need as much add-in’s.
