INGREDIENTS FOR MAKING KETO CHICKEN CURRY SALAD
- Chicken – You’ll want 1 pound of cooked chicken, either chopped or shredded.
- Mayonnaise – Stick to brands with no added sugar. Or, better yet, make your own!
- Celery – This adds wonderful crunch without adding lots of carbs or calories.
- Pecans – You’ll want to chop up the pieces, then toast in a pan or in the oven until lightly brown and fragrant.
- Green Onion and Cilantro – The combination of this vegetable and herb work so well in the curry chicken salad recipe.
- Lemon Juice – You only need 1 tablespoon to add bright acidity.
- Powdered Sweetener – I recommend Swerve Confectioners. You can also powder your own by throwing granulated sweetener in a blender for a few seconds.
- Seasoning and Spices – Curry powder, turmeric, and cumin give this chicken salad its big, bold flavor.
- Salt and Pepper – Use to taste to enhance the other ingredients.
HOW TO MAKE KETO CURRY CHICKEN SALAD
