If you crave pickles constantly like I do, you’ll be obsessed with this dill pickle chicken salad! It’s easy to throw together, packed with flavor and protein and perfect for quick lunches in lettuce wraps or gluten free toast or crackers. Paleo, Whole30 and keto friendly.
Pickle lovers and cravers, get ready for your new favorite lunch!
When I first started eating paleo, chicken salad was an absolute must to have on hand at all times.
My original recipe is a bit involved, cooking the chicken from scratch and adding bacon. Even still, it’s been a staple ever since!
Hey, if you feel like adding bacon to this one too, I will certainly not stop you!
This dill pickle chicken salad has the best of everything. It’s high in protein of course and packed with even more flavor than any chicken salad I’ve ever made.
I’ve made it three times since the first, and find a way to sneak it in every day.
Whether it’s lettuce wraps, an open faced gluten free sandwich (pictured) or a dip for your veggies, crackers or chips, it’s the tastiest way to get in a little more protein!
A Note On Homemade Mayo
I have a great homemade mayo recipe that turned me from a mayo hater to a lover.
That said, not everyone is comfortable with the raw eggs in homemade mayo, and luckily there are so many paleo friendly options out there now!
Personally I just love homemade mayo for the flavor alone, as it elevates the flavor in every recipe!
If you have a store bought mayo you love, by all means use that one to make this recipe super easy peasy!
When I use store bought, this one is my go-to.
