Classic Chicken Salad – Shredded chicken, dill pickles, and crunchy celery smothered in a deliciously creamy dressing. You’ll love how easy this is to throw together for your next picnic or summer party. Creamy and crunchy Chicken Salad perfectly served on rolls and croissants, or on top of lettuce wraps for a low carb option. Healthy and filling, a Classic Chicken Salad is not only packed with awesome flavors, but it’s also a Keto-friendly bowl full of protein and fiber. This salad can be found in my fridge year-round because it serves as a grab-and-go lunch or an in-between-meals snack. I’ve been having this salad for lunch, like, all week. It’s addictive. Usually, I just go it alone, savoring bite after bite, and keeping on track with that low carb livin’.
