INGREDIENTS NOTES:

CHICKEN:

• We can make this sill pickle chicken salad with the remaining cook chicken to save the time. We can also use the boiled or poached chicken breast, which offers protein.

DILL PICKLE:

• We can use sugar-free dill pickles to keep it keto-friendly. The extra sugar in bread-and-butter pickles would raise the carbohydrate content. We can choose baby dill pickles if you like a mild pickle flavor.

MAYONNAISE:

• We can use the avocado or olive oil-based keto-friendly mayonnaise. This adds a creamy smoothness without adding any bad fats to the recipe. You can instead use sour cream in place of half of the mayo for a milder flavor.

PICKLE JUICE:

• Pickle juice thins down the mayo and gives the dressing a tang. It’s a necessary component for that distinctive pickle flavor!

FRESH DILL:

• We can use the fresh dill, which has the best flavor, but we can also use the dried dill.
