Low Carb Chicken Salad
Chicken Salad is one of the most versatile dishes out there. If you’ve tried it at a few different grocery stores or restaurants, then you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about!
Each chicken salad is made differently: ground, chunky, shredded, filled with onions, nuts, and tons of other ingredients. Considering that everyone is going to like their chicken salad a little different, I won’t bother saying this chicken salad is “the best” or “the original.”
Instead, I’ll let you use this recipe as a starting point for making this your own low carb chicken salad. Just add and subtract whatever tastes right to you.
This recipe is a favorite in my household. Something about it is just so fancy and delectable. While it makes a perfect lunch at a picnic, I love to make a batch just for me whenever I need a treat.
The chicken is shredded, which means it has a a subtle presence in the salad. You can cut the leave the chicken cubed for a stronger chicken flavor. But I like letting the onions and fresh herbs to shine.

I like to make mine buffalo chicken salad. Add blue cheese and franks red hot and voila.
Great idea! Sounds pretty similar to my buffalo chicken dip which is pretty darn delicious!
