Let’s talk about our chicken and fresh vegetables!

You have some great options for the kind of chicken you can use in this salad. I used a combination of white and dark meat from a whole chicken I had boiled. You can use all white meat, all dark meat, or a combination for your salad. Another great and quick option is to use a rotisserie chicken. For my salad, I combined some diced red peppers and a couple of scallions. You can use any color bell pepper you’d like. You can also substitute 2 or 3 tablespoons of diced yellow onion for the scallions if you’d prefer. I chose to not add any chopped celery to this salad; but if you want more crunch, you could always add some.

What ingredients are in the dressing for this keto tarragon chicken salad?

The dressing for this salad is amazingly delicious. Our creamy base comes from a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream. Yum!😊Then we add some lemon juice and Dijon mustard. I used fresh lemon juice and like to always have a lemon or two hanging out on my island for recipes like this one. I love fresh tarragon and used 2 tablespoons of chopped tarragon for my salad. I’d highly recommend using fresh tarragon if possible. If you can’t find fresh, you can substitute 2 teaspoons of dried tarragon for the 2 tablespoons of fresh. I used the Swerve brand of keto brown sugar. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs and is delicious! For our seasonings, we combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. I always suggest you taste your salads and add more salt and pepper if you’d like.
