I’m still obsessed with mayo. Since I figured out how to make it in seriously 30 seconds, I haven’t been able to stop. And all I think about is new ways to mix it up. Hence Asian mayo. I want to create every sort of mayo possible to make every sort of chicken salad possible. I LOVE chicken salad. And it’s going to save me a balls ton of money since I won’t be buying Whole Foods chicken salad. That sh*t is $11.99/lb. Crazy sh*t right there.
I absolutely ABSOLUTELY, never ever ever want to see the movie ‘The Conjuring’. No. No way. I truly hate scary movies. Especially true story ones. Now that’s just effed up.
Speaking of scary, sneezing while driving is especially frightening. My allergies are a bit out of control right now and I sneeze every time I drive. I’m pretty sure it’s more dangerous than drinking while driving or texting while driving. But it’s legal. Well, that’s all I have to say about that.
I’ve officially had to block 2 people on Instagram. I didn’t think that would ever have to happen. But some guy was real mean and the other guy was real crazy. Both had nothing to do with food or paleo or my blog, just hatred towards me. It’s odd. Girls are usually the mean ones, not bros. Oh how things change as you age. Girls just become way cooler.
It’s strange. I only follow people I want to follow on Instagram. Then envy their lives. Do you ever do that? I totally do. That’s why I follow mostly non-paleo people. I envy their delicious meals and drool over their Instagrams. Non paleo food tends to be more exciting to look at. Just another fact.
Guess what? I leave for South Dakota this week. Never been. I’m going to pose next to those huge heads carved into the mountains. Who doesn’t love giant head pictures? I got a big one, got to show it off next those great heads. Just you wait.
Asian Chicken Salad
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
For the salad
- 1–1.5 pounds chicken, cooked, cooled and chopped
- 1/4 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot, minced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- chopped green onions, to garnish
- 3–4 tablespoons sliced almonds, to garnish
For the asian mayo
- ⅔ cup avocado oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut aminos (or gluten free soy sauce)
Instructions
- In a tall container, add egg, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a bit of salt and pepper. Place your immersion blender to the bottom of the container, turn on and wait until the mixture thickens. You may need to raise the immersion blender a bit to help mix all of the oil.
- Then use a spoon to mix in sesame oil, sriracha, honey, and coconut aminos.
- Place in refrigerator to cool.
- While the mayo cools, mix together the chicken, cabbage, onion, carrot, and celery in a large bowl.
- Then place sliced almonds in a small skillet over medium heat to toast. The will just need to toast for about 5-7 minutes until slightly browned. And toasty. Mmmm.
- Add all of the mayo to the chicken salad ingredients and mix well.
- Garnish with toasted almonds and green onions.

This looks awesome!
I love South Dakota! There’s a lot of other things to see besides Mt. Rushmore…if you go to Custer State Park which is right down the highway from Rushmore, you’ll see a ton of buffalo! You should also drive through the needles…I think it’s called Needles Highway…it’s right around there too. And at least play a slot machine or two in Deadwood, it’s a dorky little touristy casino town, but so fun!
I forgot one more thing in SD, Crow Peak Brewing Co. in Spearfish. I know you just posted about not being into drinking that much anymore and I’m right there with you! But this brewery is cute and there’s a really cool farmer’s market across the street, so it’s worth it 🙂
Can I ask a silly question and don’t laugh, but how safe to use raw eggs for the mayo? I’ve always shied away from it bc of that ewwee factor. This recipe sounds really good altho I haven’t gotten my hands on avocado oil yet.
mmm this looks so so good!! i have a mayo obsession, too. if you think sneezing while driving is terrifying, try sneezing while parking. i never had allergies then they smacked me in the face one year, and while i was parking, i sneezed, took my foot off the brake and bumped the car next to me. i left a note because i’m a good person.
Enjoy SD, Custer State Park is Stunning and you’ll see tons of animals and the Badlands are one of my favorite places to go to find a little peace.
YUM! Another thing I can make in bulk and eat all week. I love all things Asian persuasion.
Olive oil instead of avo oil? Or is that a novice paleo Q?
I’m trying to answer @rene….avocado oil has less ‘taste’ IF you use olive oil, use a extra light….. (at that’s my experience on it!?)
love sriracha, love juli, love making mayo, love chicken salad….love make aheads….
“I”m so happyyyyy!”
I have tried the mayo with Avocado oil and couldn’t stand it. Is there a certain type of AO I should be getting? The bottle I got was a super dark green oil and not at all good (to me) I don’t care too much for the mayos made with olive oil either as I always end up with a slight metallic taste. Can anyone help??
it shouldn’t be dark green. it should be a regular oil color. i just used a whole foods brand
Silly point. But the Mayo recipe doesn’t say when to start adding the Avocado Oil.
I noticed that too! I assume you add the oil the same time you add the egg? Also, ‘gluten free’ soy sauce is called: Tamari – 😉 Gonna try this recipe today. Sounds delish!
@Liese… Juli has a post within the past month I think about her new method for making mayo with an immersion blender. So that has the deets, but basically you throw everything in there and blend. None of that special adding oil slowly stuff. Super easy!
Could you tell me how to find the blog on how to make the mayo. Thanks
Do you plan on stopping at any boxes? Because if you stop at Black Hills Crossfit in Rapid City I want a heads up. A friend coaches there, and I want to meet you despite the fact I’m in Fargo ND and that’s like 8 hours away, because I’m convinced we could be best friends, even though I generally don’t like girls as friends. I like to eat, drink, and lift things. See? BFF’s! And now you’re probably creeped out and I’d be the next one blocked from instagram. JK.
haha probably not 🙁 i’m not the one driving so i doubt i can talk my friends into pulling over so i can get a workout in
Sneezing while driving is probably one of my biggest fears! Do you know how awkward and uncomfortable it feels to try and keep your eyes open while sneezing? SUPER awkward and uncomfortable, but I’m sure you already knew that since you share the same feelings about it.
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
You would have my undying gratitude if you post a video making the 30-second mayo. I have tried that trick at least 5 times and it never works for me. I get oil mixed with yolk chunklets 🙁
Add an extra egg. Works for me every time.
I tried that…tried making it with one egg, then re-emulsifying with a second yolk, no luck 🙁
