Using a Whole30 Mayonnaise for Your Chicken Salad Wrap
You can purchase Whole30 approved mayonnaise at the grocery store. However, we’ve also included a recipe just in case it’s hard to find where you live.
Don’t be shy about making your own fresh mayonnaise though. It’s really satisfying to make! You can whisk the mayonnaise by hand or use an immersion blender.
If raw eggs make you weary, look for pasteurized eggs, which are completely safe to consume.
As for what to use for the wrap, you can use any large leafy green. There’s kale, green leaf lettuce or even romaine. I (Rebecca) personally like to stack a couple of leaves of butter lettuce since they’re more soft and tender and pack a great flavor.
So if you’re doing a Whole30, or maybe you rock that paleo or keto lifestyle, these Avocado Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps might just be the dinner you’ve been looking for.
And even if you’re not eating with those guidelines? Well, a little bit of healthy is always a good idea!
