Keto Chicken Salad is a simple meal that works well for lunch or a light dinner. I like making this salad because it’s filling and easy to put together. The chicken mixes with a creamy dressing and a few crunchy ingredients that add texture.
This keto chicken salad is also a good option when you want something quick that doesn’t require cooking if you already have cooked chicken. You can serve it in lettuce wraps, on its own, or with low-carb sides.
