Easy keto chicken salad

This is sure to be your new favorite keto chicken salad recipe! I kept this recipe really simple so that it tastes just like a classic recipe without the carbs. 

I like to serve it on lettuce wraps, or with celery sticks. Though it tastes just as amazing right out of the bowl on its own. 

This recipe is healthy, keto friendly, and high in protein.

Is mayonnaise keto friendly

Mayonnaise is great for the keto diet because it is high in fat, and has zero carbs. Use it for salad dressings, or as a condiment with your favorite low carb recipes. I used traditional mayonnaise for the base of the dressing in this chicken salad recipe. 

Ingredients

• Cooked chicken: I used a rotisserie chicken to keep things simple. Just be sure to remove the skin. You could also use baked chicken breast, chicken thighs, or canned chicken. Any cooked chicken will work.
• Celery: Adds flavor and a nice crunch to the salad
• Mayo: This will be the base of the dressing for the chicken salad
• Mustard: Adds a little acidity and more flavor.
• Seasonings: I used salt, pepper, and onion powder
• Fresh Dill: Adds an extra layer of flavor. You could also use dried dill if you don't have fresh dill on hand.
