Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chicken breast (cooked and diced)
- 150 grams cauliflower florets (steamed and chopped)
- 100 grams pickles (diced)
- 3 pieces hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
- 50 grams frozen peas (steamed; optional, for minimal carbs)
- 100 grams Mayonnaise (sugar-free and keto-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Cook and dice the chicken breast. You can poach, bake, or sauté it according to your preference. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender but not mushy. Once cooled, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces resembling diced potatoes.
Dice the pickles into small cubes for a burst of tangy flavor.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Make sure they are evenly sized for better consistency in the salad.
If using frozen peas, steam them just until tender and vibrant in color. Allow them to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped cauliflower, pickles, eggs, and steamed peas (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently mix until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the ingredients.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped dill, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
