Keto 5 Ingredient Chicken Salad Recipe
Whether you are just starting a Keto diet or managing your budget, this recipe is perfect for you. Keto 5 ingredient meals are simple, minimal, but extremely flavorful. This chicken salad can be prepared in less than 10 minutes using ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. Don’t be fooled by the recipe’s simplicity because this salad is creamy, satiating, tangy, with a slight crisp.
What type of chicken should you use for this recipe?
The best chicken cut for this recipe is breast because it maintains its flavor even after days in the fridge. You can use boiled or poached chicken breasts for this recipe. Rotisserie or leftover chicken would also work.
How can you serve this easy chicken salad?
This chicken salad is delicious and refreshing on its own. However, you can serve it in lettuce cups or with Keto-friendly bread. You can also serve it over leafy greens for a nutritious salad.
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. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream, caesar dressing, or ranch dressing. You can replace the dill with parsley or chives and the celery with grated carrots, chopped pickles, or diced red onion. As for the lemon, you can use lime. You can also add more than 5 ingredients if you wish; consider adding avocado, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, dried fruits, nuts, or seeds.
