VIDEO: Bye Bye Boring Chicken Salad! Try Mark Sisson’s Curry Paleo Version

Last Update: April 9, 2025

In the prepared foods section of grocery stores everywhere, one of the most ubiquitous finds is the trusty chicken salad sandwich. Even though it almost always looks less-than-appetizing, plenty of people reach for it in a pinch.

Chicken salad doesn’t have to be sad—no way, not on Mark Sisson’s watch! His flavorful curry chicken salad will change your sandwich game for good. The secret ingredient: His own Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo, which is made of just five ingredients.

Press play to see Sisson’s simple, crave-worthy recipe.

Curry Chicken Salad

1 teaspoon curry powder
Pinch sea salt
Pinch black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons Primal Kitchen mayo
1 pound grilled chicken breast, cubed
3 to 4 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup apple, chopped
½ cup walnuts, chopped

Mix spices into mayo. In a separate bowl, toss chicken, celery, apple, and walnuts together. Add mayo to chicken mix and stir.

Before you break out the bread, consider enjoying it the Paleo way. Take a page from Sisson’s book and wrap it in a large fresh lettuce leaf instead—so fresh, so crunchy, so crazy-good.
