How can you customize this Keto 5 ingredient chicken salad recipe?

This 5 ingredient recipe is meant to be prepared with simple flavors already in your kitchen. So if you have a missing ingredient, you can swap it for another from your pantry.

You can also add more than 5 ingredients if you wish; consider adding avocado, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, dried fruits, nuts, or seeds.
