Fresh Dill and Walnut Chicken Salad in the Instant Pot

Chicken salad for blog

This is the fifth (bonus!) post in our Instant Pot Pressure Cooker recipe series. This counter top appliance is popular among our Whole30 community, and Whole30 compatible Instant Pot recipes are one of our most-requested resources on social media. Sarah Steffens, our in-house recipe creative, is sharing her favorite recipes for nourishing, delicious Instant Pot dishes—Whole30 compatible, of course!

Our Whole30’ers in the Northern Hemisphere are currently smack in the middle of summertime. In most places, that means the goal becomes: use the oven as little as possible. One strategy is to do most of your Whole30 meal prep on the grill (if you missed last week’s Whole30 kabob recipe, you can snag it here!). Another idea is to do as much cooking as you can in your Instant Pot.
