I used a low carb Mayonnaise to make my keto carb chicken salad as it has 0g carbs which makes it a perfect choice for this recipe. While there is a little red onion in it to add some flavor, the carb count tops out at only 2g per serving, or 1g net carbs if you subtract the dietary fiber.
Tips for making Keto chicken salad
- Use gluten free rotisserie chicken, the flavor is really nice!
- Chop the celery and red onion really small, you don’t want large chunks in this salad.
- I used a low carb mayonnaise as it’s got 0g carbs, most mayonnaise brands contains added sugar.
- If you have time, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend together nicely
