3. Make the Dressing:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  • Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
4. Combine and Toss:
  • Add the diced or shredded chicken to the bowl of chopped vegetables.
  • Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Gently toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Chill and Serve:
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the keto chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together.
