Whole30 + Keto + Paleo Buffalo Dill Chicken Salad

A spicy and creamy buffalo dill chicken salad that is Whole30, Paleo and Keto compliant. This salad is great on top of greens, stuffed in an avocado and just straight from a bowl.

Chicken salad is one of those dishes that you will always find in my fridge. I love whipping some up on Sunday afternoon and having it available in the fridge to grab throughout the week for an easy and delicious meal option. I have always been one that will eat chicken salad for breakfast because I love it that much!

I love mixing it up and trying out new chicken salad recipes that will keep my meal options fresh and not boring. I try to experiment with a lot of different ways to spice up a boring traditional salad recipe and my new Buffalo Dill Chicken Salad takes it to a whole different level. This recipe is so creamy and savory and almost mimics a chicken wing and not to mention, it is Whole30, Paleo and Keto compliant

Throw it on top of a salad or even add it to a sweet potato and heat up for a really magical meal. Shoot, you can even grab the bowl and a fork and eat it all by itself. The Buffalo Dill Mayo that I created especially for this chicken salad is out of this world incredible. I also use it on top of veggies and other boring protein options. If you are searching for a great Sunday meal prep dish, look no further! This will be your new go to lunch that is sure to satisfy.

How long will chicken salad last in the fridge?

I never go over 5 days for my chicken salad. If I make it for Sunday meal prep, I usually plan to use it for meals early in the week.

How to serve chicken salad?

1. Add on top of your favorite greens with some chopped veggies.
2. Stuff chicken salad into a half of an avocado.
3. Make a chicken salad wrap with coconut flour tortillas and serve with fruit.

Do I have to make homemade mayo for chicken salad?

For this recipe since it is labeled Whole30, it is suggested to make your own mayo, but you can also use compliant brands use as Primal Kitchen and Stonewall Kitchen
