Ingredients in Keto Chicken Salad
As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our keto Salad Bowl. For the complete recipe and measurements, simply scroll to the bottom of the page.
For the Chaffle Bowl:
- Eggs- size large
- Shredded cheese- any variety
- Almond flour and baking powder
For the keto salad:
- Chaffle bowl
- Salad greens- any type you like
- Grilled chicken– sliced
- Tomato and bacon- chopped

How do you make this keto salad recipe?
First, prepare your Chaffle Bowl. Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Add to a preaheated Waffle Bowl Maker that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Add two tablespoons of the batter and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until there is no longer any steam coming from the maker. Set aside.
Next, layer your salad greens, grilled and sliced chicken (I love this Chipotle Ranch Chicken or Jalapeno Lime Chicken), chopped tomato, bacon, low carb ranch and salt and pepper. And you’re done! The perfect keto lunch, ready in just minutes!
Tips for the best low carb chicken salad
- Be sure to not overfill your waffle bowl maker with batter. You only need two tablespoons.
- Change it up! If you prefer, you can add ground beef or turkey to this recipe. You can also use Crock Pot Chicken or canned chicken.
- If you’re vegetarian, feel free to omit the chicken altogether. You can also use a different type of protein, such as tofu.
- Add different veggies! Mushrooms, zucchini or cucumber would all be delicious in this keto recipe
Is this keto salad recipe good for keto meal prep?
This is a fantastic low carb meal prep recipe. It can be a little hard to transport these keto salad bowls without breaking the bowl, so I just kept the chaffle bowls in a separate container. In another container I had the chicken, bacon, tomatoes, greens already sprinkled with salt and pepper. I grabbed a bottle of ranch and I was good to go!
How to store these salad bowls
The Chaffle Bowls will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Store in the fridge in a glass or plastic container with an airtight lid, or in a plastic bag. I do not recommend storing this salad bowl once it has been mixed- the juice from the vegetables can make the chaffle bowl a little soggy. So if you are preparing beforehand, it is best to store your chaffle bowls and salad ingredients separately.

Sounds great, but I am a single person. Can the Chaffee bowl ingredients mixed together be able to be kept in the fridge. I would cut the recipe in half but not sure about the 3 eggs.
Hi Trish, yes I have stored the batter in the fridge up to 3 days and the chaffles turn out great. Enjoy!
