Creative Variations for Carnivore Chicken Salad!
- Savory Butter-Infused – Melt a teaspoon of grass-fed butter and mix it in for an extra silky texture and rich flavor. It enhances satiety and adds a natural umami depth.
- Crispy Chicken Crunch – Instead of just shredded chicken, lightly sear some in ghee until golden brown before mixing. This adds a crispy bite and a deeper roasted flavor.
- Bone Broth Gelatin Boost – Mix in a teaspoon of bone broth gelatin for extra collagen, making this salad even more gut-friendly and protein-packed.
- Smoky Bacon Drizzle – Blend some rendered bacon fat into the mayo for a subtle smoky essence that takes this salad to the next level.
- Egg Yolk Enrichment – Stir in a soft-boiled egg yolk for a creamy, decadent consistency with extra choline and healthy fats.
- Tallow Mayo Upgrade – Swap regular carnivore mayo for a beef tallow-based mayo for a richer, more intense flavor and extra nutrient density.
- Crispy Chicken Skin Topping – Instead of adding more seasoning, chop up some fried chicken skin and sprinkle it on top for a crispy, salty crunch.
