Creating this Keto Chicken Salad is simple and enjoyable if you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: If you don’t have leftover chicken, boil or grill chicken breast until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then shred or dice it.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooling, chop the celery, red onions, cucumber, and bell pepper into fine pieces.
3. Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken and chopped vegetables to the dressing mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Add Fresh Herbs (Optional): If you are using fresh herbs, add them to the salad and gently mix to distribute evenly.
6. Incorporate Berries (Optional): If you want a touch of sweetness, fold in the berries gently.
7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust seasoning to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
8. Chill: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
9. Serve: Serve the Keto Chicken Salad on its own, on a bed of lettuce, or in lettuce wraps.
