    This was sooo good and easy. I only wish I could add raisins to it.

    • yeah – some things are hard to find substitutions for but we’ve added bacon crumbles and that was really good.

    • Hmm.. try adding a sprinkle of keto sugar to add that sweet element gotten form the raisins? If not that, then sprinkle some cinnamon? it is a sweetish spice.

    Very tasting! Nice change from regular chicken salad. I substituted mayonnaise with avocado mayonnaise.

    I increased to 1T Penny’s Now curry powder. Delicious! The toasted sliced almonds make this dish.

    It also works well as a sandwich filling in Trader Joe’s jicama wraps.

    • Thanks, Mary, for the fantastic feedback, including the sandwich filling idea!
