Keto Chicken Salad

48 ratings

Chicken salad is a classic side dish! They can do more than just complement a barbecue, too. This chicken salad can be served as a side to a heavy meal, as a salad topper, or even enjoy it as a snack with Carb Manager Bacon Chips, Cloud Bread, or Cheese Crackers! This recipe is also especially light and fluffy with just a little tang to it.

    This was truly easy and delicious, and it makes a great sandwich filling! I used avocado-oil mayonnaise, which normally tastes a little off to me, but it worked nicely in this recipe. I reduced the salt a slight bit by using celery flakes instead of celery salt. I divided it into three servings instead of two and served it on Hero keto bread. This will be in the regular rotation!

                This was actually pretty good! Just the right amount of mayo. I did t put the dill weed in it or the celery seed and it was still good

                  I've made this and used Pork Rinds as a cracker. It tastes better the next day after it all marinates in the fridge overnight. 🙌

                    Are the pickles dill or sweet ?

                      Dill.

                      Dill. Sweet pickles have sugar/corn syrup/high fructose.

                        This was an awesome recipe.... I added celery based on some others comments and having that crunch def took it over the top!

                          Excellent! I wasn’t sure with the amount of mustard and pickle but this salad is just lovely. We added some garlic and parsley.

                              Good. I like sweet chicken salad though and more crunch. I added celery- however much you want. Then 1/4 teaspoon of swerve to make it a little sweet. Good balance. Will make again. May play more with a sweeter once with a little bit of grape and pecans

                                I added apple bits and walnuts to keep carbs down from grapes. Ordinarily, I add nuts, grapes, and blue cheese crumbles to my chicken salad. I think I will add the blue cheese before I fill my keto pita pocket!

                                      It’s about 1/2 cup. If you use a scale (like i did), make sure you deduct the weight of the container.
