2 tsp dijon mustard
0.5 cup full-fat mayonnaise

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors improve after the first day. Make-Ahead: This salad is perfect for meal prep. Prepare the chicken in the slow cooker up to 2 days ahead, then shred and mix with the dressing and vegetables the day you plan to serve. Variations: Add 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans for crunch, or substitute 1/4 cup diced cucumber for the celery for a different texture. Serving Suggestions: Serve in butter lettuce cups, on a bed of arugula, or alongside keto-friendly vegetables like cucumber slices and bell pepper strips.
