Today I’m sharing Beat-the-Heat Low-Carb Chicken Salads, and this collection of cold chicken salad recipes has some that are definitely favorites at my house. And there are more than 24 delicious salad ideas here to help when it’s just too hot outside to want anything but cold food! Leftover rotisserie chicken is an ingredient that often inspires me to create new salads and now I love to buy the already cooked and cut up rotisserie breast that comes in a package at Costco, which makes this kind of salad even easier.
All of these salads are easy enough you can make them on a hot summer day when you don’t really want to cook! I’ve updated the post with some amazing chicken salads I’ve made recently; hope you enjoy trying at least a few of the tasty salads! And try to stay cool if you’re in the U.S.!
Tips for Tasty Low-Carb Chicken Salad:
- If you shop at Costco, look for their already cooked-and cut-up packages of rotisserie chicken to make chicken salad prep even easier!
- If you have time, marinating the cut-up chicken in dressing for 20-30 minutes before you stir the salad together will add flavor to chicken salads.
- Most every type of chicken salad can keep in the fridge for a few days, but for best flavor I like to have a little extra dressing to stir in to refresh the flavors when I’m eating the leftovers.
Chicken Pesto Salad is so tasty that after I made it for the blog, I made again it right away just to have in the fridge for myself!
Chicken and Avocado Salad with Lime and Cilantro is a salad recipe that’s been hugely popular on the blog. If you’re not a cilantro fan, substitute thinly sliced green onion and this will still be delicious.
When I decided to re-visit an old salad recipe that had black beans, this Chicken Salad with Avocado, Radishes, and Lime was the happy result. (There’s also a link to the version with black beans if you like the sound of that.)
Chicken Salad with Hearts of Palm uses hearts of palm, which are definitely one of my favorite summer ingredients!
Green olive fans are going to swoon over this tasty Chicken Salad with Green Olives!
When we made this Curried Chicken Salad we went absolutely crazy over this recipe, and if you like asparagus and curry (and who doesn’t love pine nuts?) you’re also going to love this salad!
Nothing says summer to me like fresh basil, and I absolutely love the flavors in this Chicken Salad with Basil.
I’m crazy about the flavor of fresh tarragon, and this Tarragon Chicken Salad is absolutely a wow!
I absolutely love spicy Greek Peperoncini, and they add such a nice zing to this Greek Peperoncini Chicken Salad.
My love for cabbage salads is pretty obvious, and I love this Chicken Cabbage Salad with Mustard when I have leftover chicken and cabbage in the fridge.
