Honey and Fruit Chicken Salad (Paleo)

In Florida, Publix is a staple.  They've expanded, but for Floridians, you go to Publix.

And every now and then, when I go to Publix, I indulge in some of their pre-made food.  They have a Honey, Fruit and Almond Chicken Salad, and it is just so good, I can devour it in one sitting. So I'm always trying to recreate it, and while I'm not perfect, here's a good attempt.  If you try this recipe out, what edits would you make??  Let's collaborate!



But first, here's how I made it:

1. Take several dried apricots, dried cranberries, and slivered almonds...


...and chop them up into smaller pieces...


2. Next, take cooked chicken and shred it.  Add to bowl with the chopped fruit and nuts.  Add mayonnaise, salt/pepper to taste, and 1 TBSP of honey....

3. Mix it together so all is well incorporated... and just try not to eat it all in one sitting.  I dare you.


Looking at the nutritional information found here, the only ingredients I am missing are walnuts, lemon juice, and celery.  I think I'll try perfecting it for next time!  If you try it, let me know how it turns out!  Cheers.
