Better than any salad bar, this low-carb honey mustard chicken salad is piled high with fresh ingredients and topped with a tangy low-carb dressing.

Low-Carb Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

Honey Mustard Chicken Salad 

This isn’t one of those mayo-based creamy chicken salad recipes. This chicken salad is more like a fresh chopped cobb salad.

Low-Carb Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

You’ll start out with a bed of salad greens and then top them with tender chicken breast pieces, chopped hard boiled egg, crispy bacon, and juicy tomatoes. Then, drizzle it all with your homemade sugar-free honey mustard dressing. 

Every single ingredient supports your health and weight loss journey. This is a high-protein, high-fiber meal that gives you energy that lasts! 

Low-Carb Chopped Chicken Salad 

This is a fantastic way to use leftover chicken. Chop up leftover pan seared chicken thighs or match the flavors and use keto honey garlic chicken.

Save time and grab a rotisserie chicken from the store or use some canned chicken. All of the options will work perfectly. 

The tomatoes are the only ingredient that significantly increases this salad’s carb count. So, if you leave them out, you’ll bring the carb count down to almost nothing!

Replace them with cucumbers and you’ll be eating fewer carbs. 

Cobb Salad Without Blue Cheese

This resembles a cobb salad, but with one big difference – it doesn’t have any blue cheese. A lot of cobb salad recipes also have sliced avocado, too.

Not everyone is a fan of blue cheese. Thankfully, there is a way to replace the blue cheese and still make it taste like a cobb salad.

Crumble some goat cheese or feta cheese on top of the salad. It will have the same texture and flavor. 

The honey mustard dressing is the perfect way to tie all the ingredients together. The savory bacon and sweet tomatoes taste amazing with the bold and tangy honey mustard dressing.

Make extra and use it as a marinade for pork and chicken. 

Best Keto Soups

A honey mustard chicken salad is the perfect start for your lunch. Round it out with a hearty bowl of your favorite soup.

Match the flavors with a bowl of keto Italian wedding soup. And if you really love bacon, then make low-carb dill pickle soup with bacon. 

If you’re really hungry, then a keto bread bowl with cream of chicken soup will fill you up. Or enjoy a hot bowl of keto chicken detox soup to refresh your body and support your immune system. 

Keto Salad Toppings 

I kept this salad simple on purpose. This gives you plenty of options so you can make it taste how you want it to taste.

  • Diced Avocado 
  • Chopped Cucumber 
  • Jalepno Slices 
  • Pork Rind Crumbs (as croutons)
  • Sunflower Seeds
  • Sliced Almonds 
  • Feta Cheese crumbles 

I think it’s perfect if you follow the recipe as it is. But if you want to add more toppings, here are some low-carb options that won’t add very many carbs. 

Remember, every single topping you place on the salad will increase how many carbs each serving has. You should recalculate the carb amounts every time you add something to the salad.
