Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts) preferably poached! Rotisserie works as well.
  • 1/2 a lemon squeezed or about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 cup sliced red grapes
  • 3 chopped celery stalks or 1/3 cup chopped
  • 3/4 cup pecans
  • 2 stalks chopped green onions, including white parts
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh!
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup mayonaisse

Instructions
 

  • Start by toasting your pecans. In a pan on medium-high heat, add a little bit of coconut or avocado oil and add your chopped pecans. Toast them for about 4 minutes until fragrant, tossing occasionally so they don't burn. Set them aside on a plate and allow them to cool.
  • In a bowl combine all the ingredients together and give it a good mix until everything is fully coated. THAT'S IT! Taste and add more salt, mayo, ect to your liking! Serve with crackers, on top of toasted bread or in a lettuce wrap. ENJOY!

Notes

Storage: This will keep really well for 3-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Bonus: It tastes even better a day later since all the flavors marinate together in a beautiful way!
