Prepare a refreshing, low-carb chicken salad featuring bright lemon zest, fresh herbs, and creamy mayonnaise, perfect for keto meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full fat, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the diced celery, chopped dill, and parsley to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir to combine the dressing ingredients.
  4. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken.
  5. Fold all ingredients together gently until the chicken is evenly coated.
  6. Taste the salad and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Serve this salad in lettuce cups, over cucumber slices, or with low-carb crackers for a complete keto meal.
  • You can prepare the chicken up to two days ahead of time. Store the dressing separately and combine just before serving for the freshest taste.
  • For a dairy-free option, confirm your mayonnaise is made with avocado oil or another approved fat source.
