Ingredients Needed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60g)
- 2 tbsp mustard (30g)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (6g)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (6g)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (375g)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (50g)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
How To Make Low Carb Keto Chicken Salad
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, parsley, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Add the chicken and onions: Stir in the shredded chicken and chopped green onions until well combined.
- Season to taste: Add sea salt and black pepper to your liking.
- Chill before serving (optional): For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken: Freshly shredded chicken gives the best texture and flavor, avoid canned chicken if possible.
- Chop herbs finely: Finely chopped dill and parsley mix better and give a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Let it chill: Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors blend well.
- Dry herbs and chicken well: Too much moisture can make the salad watery, so pat dry the herbs and chicken before mixing.
- Adjust seasoning after chilling: Taste again after chilling and adjust salt or mustard if needed, as flavors may mellow.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover chicken salad cool to room temperature first. Then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 4 days.
