Keto Buffalo Chicken Salad – Important Tips

Veggies – You can change and add the veggies to the salad as you like, add chopped summer squash, raw zucchini, chopped onion, lettuce, or even chopped jalapenos. Options as endless.

Dressing – I am using blue cheese dressing, if you are not a big fan, use creamy ranch dressing, homemade mayo, or mayo by Primal Kitchen and Sir Kensington’s.

Sauce – For the buffalo sauce, use a Homemade or store-bought Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce. To add more heat to the tenders, add a little more Frank’s Hot Sauce to the mixture. Don’t use Tabasco, they are not meant for a buffalo sauce and it has totally different flavor.

Make-Ahead – It’s a great meal prep recipe, make the chicken and prepare the salad, and when you are ready to eat, reheat the chicken and serve on top of the salad. As long as the salad stays cold you don’t have to worry.

Can I store this low carb buffalo chicken salad?

You can pack the chicken and salad in separate air-tight containers and store them in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, no matter the chicken is store-bought or shredded. When ready to serve, heat the chicken and serve with fresh crunchy lettuce or celery.

How to serve this keto creamy buffalo chicken salad?

It is so delicious and filling that you can eat it on its own. Otherwise, you can serve in a lettuce wrap, with crackers, over toast or in a sandwich, in a salad bowl over greens and vegetables, or alongside cooked vegetables.
