Have leftover chicken on hand? Roasted, grilled, baked – whatever chicken you have, you can easily turn it into a creamy Paleo-friendly chicken salad with a hint of spice! Celery, sliced grapes, paprika, horseradish and Paleo mayo are the only ingredients you need to make this quick chicken salad.

The best part? There’s no cooking involved! Just mix and stir! The ingredients come together in just a few minutes, and it stores beautifully in the refrigerator for days. Don’t be afraid to leave the mayo in the salad either. The longer the ingredients stay together in the refrigerator, the more the sauces and spices marry, deepening the flavor!
