Coronation Chicken Salad

Coronation Chicken Salad

Said to have been prepared for the Coronation Banquet of Queen Elizabeth II, this creamy, and tasty chicken salad is at home in flat breads, lettuce wraps, or on it's own! Although traditionally prepared with cold chicken, raisins, herbs and curry spices... we've made a few modifications to increase the fats and keep the carbs to a minimum.

As an alternative, you can stir 2 tbsp of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, hemp and/or chia seeds into the mixture before refrigerating.

Almond butter chocolate cups!  YUM!

If you’d like to add a little kick, then 1 tsp of cayenne pepper goes really well in this dish, but does mean it wouldn’t be nightshade free
