Chicken salad is one of those recipes where there are a million-and-one different ways to make it. I have to say that this one is my absolute favorite. Seriously, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill chicken salad. If you want to impress everyone (including yourself) and make taste buds sing, this is the salad you’re looking for.

This salad was developed by accident (sort of)!

This recipe is the result of a crazy shopping trip to Costco, where we picked up all kinds of nuts, seeds and an insane artichoke jalapeno dip. Of course, we had vats of everything, so we ended up freezing a bunch of stuff, but we still had a good amount of this dip in the fridge. Hmmm… what to do with the dip… oh, right! Mix it up with some chicken and build a crazy salad! That’s just how my mind works… Anyhoo, the result was this ridiculously good salad. We bought more of that dip to have around just to make this salad on a regular basis.

Why add chia and hemp seeds?

I love to give my meals as much of a nutrition boost as possible. Hemp and chia seeds are high in omega fatty acids and I like to keep some around to put on salads and make ‘No-oatmeal’. On that big ol’ Costco trip, we picked up giant bags of organic hemp and chia seeds because they looked so good and I knew we’d have them in stock here forever. They keep well in the fridge for months! So I was looking for every opportunity to use some and tossed them into the salad. No regrets! It’s delicious.

If you don’t have chia or hemp seeds, no worries. You can eliminate them altogether or replace them with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

Can I change the recipe?

Absolutely! Chicken salad, at it’s base, is really a blank canvas. The basic salad is cooked chicken, mayo and green onions. Some people add celery. Honestly, you can go anywhere from there and add fresh herbs, different chopped nuts or seeds or other seasonings like garlic and onion powder or a dollop of mustard. It’s fun to play with your food!

What to eat with the chicken salad?

Well, before I was keto, I would say a croissant was the way to go. I love croissants – I just do. But, since those aren’t in the plan for now, and to stay low carb, there are a myriad of options: lettuce wraps, on a green salad, on low carb/keto bread, stuffed in an avocado or papaya or just on its own!

Description

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill chicken salad. If you want to make taste buds sing, this is your recipe! This gourmet salad is perfect in lettuce wraps, on a green salad or on its own. It’s so easy to make and bursting with flavor!


Ingredients

Scale

3 medium chicken breasts, cooked and chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

2 scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons artichoke jalapeno dip

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons hemp seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons capers

1 teaspoon caper brine


Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.


Notes

If you don’t have hemp or chia seeds, no worries!  You can eliminate them or replace them with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

You can substitute the chicken breast for chicken thighs or use a combination of the two.  Since chicken thighs are smaller, I would use 4 large thighs for this recipe.
