This salad is Whole30-friendly!
Harvest Chicken Salad is free of gluten, dairy and grains and the Citrus Vinaigrette with Thyme is sugar-free making it a Whole30-friendly recipe. We used Made In Nature dried cranberries which are sweetened with apple juice instead of sugar (like most dried cranberries on the market). Made In Nature makes a variety of organic dried fruits and snacks that are refined sugar-free and free of preservatives; perfect for adding to salads, packing in lunches, baking with, and snacking on.

Add a little cheese!
If you’re not Whole30’ing and you’re cool with dairy, we suggest that you add a little soft goat or crumbled feta cheese to this salad. So good! Wondering how to make the perfect chicken breast for this salad? We’ve got you covered with our How to Make the Perfect Chicken breast tutorial.
Include Harvest Chicken Salad with your next weekend meal prep.
This salad makes for the perfect prep ahead salad because of the hearty ingredients. It’s easy to prep everything on the weekend (including the Citrus-Thyme Vinaigrette) and assemble the salad either in a bowl or lunch container then store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. We recommend that you make two salads (or 4 if you’re prepping for 2) during your weekend meal prep so that you have a healthy and satisfying lunch prepared for the next 2-3 days. For the apple or pear slices, just simply toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Hold the dressing until just before eating. New to meal prepping? Click here to learn our Top Meal Prepping tips.
