Quick and easy Dill Chicken Salad. Why get store-bought keto chicken salad when making your own healthy version is easy, inexpensive, and way more delicious!
The perfect quick keto lunch: Dill Chicken Salad
This Whole30 Chicken salad recipe has been a game changer for me! I have been eating on repeat at least 3 times a week. For the last couple of months I had been buying this delicious chicken salad from our local grocery store deli out of pure ease. We recently moved and it was easier to just grab something that was ready to eat than it was to cook. Every time I bought it, I felt a little guilty because I knew that I could make a better tasting, cleaner ingredient version for way cheaper.
Well, I finally did and this was the end result. I will never eat the store bought Dill Chicken Salad again. It is super easy to make and has minimal ingredients. It is really low in carbs, coming in at just over 1 net carb per serving. It doesn't get much lower than that.

Description
My favorite way to cook the chicken for this recipe is to pan-sear it in butter. It gives it excellent flavor and makes the chicken incredibly juicy.
Ingredients

- ½ cup diced celery (one large rib)
- ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
- ¾ cup mayonnaise, more to taste (get my Whole30 compliant Mayo recipe here)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill OR 3 teaspoons dried dill
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, celery, onion, mayonnaise, Dijon, dill, sea salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Serve on fresh lettuce leaves or just dig right in!

I have made chicken salads before and they were boring. Adding The dill and mustard make it so much better. I ve made this recipe 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I now chop the onion.celey and dill and keep it stored in the fridge, so I can make it on short notice. I have made it with shrimps,chicken and tuna fish and they all come out delicious..Thank you for coming up up with such great recipes..

I've made this at least a dozen times in the last couple months. Totally addicted! I love dill so I add a little extra, and I season my chicken with lemon pepper 🙂 SO GOOD! Usually put it in a wrap or pita pocket, but it's suuuuper good in hawaiian bread too!

I made this. It’s quick, easy and delicious!! I ate it wrapped in lettuce and I ate it in a “Mission low carb wrap” (3 net carbs). This recipe will be a staple for my husband and I. It’s perfect for work lunch.

Ellie says
This is so delicious! I’m not a fan of plain mayo, so I used organic ranch dressing and added cashews. Love it!!!

I am just starting keto for the first time, and I made this yesterday with rotisserie chicken from the store, both white and dark meat. I wonder how much that ups the fat content? Anyways, it was amazing! I was just eating it with a spoon, but then I decided to put it on cucmner slices. So. Good. Thank you!
