This keto Chinese chicken salad recipe has fantastic flavors from sesame oil, rice vinegar, and tamari. Great as a lunch, easy dinner, or dip for crackers – or on top of a large bed of leaf lettuce.
This a simple recipe to make if you have leftover rotisserie or cooked chicken. Make this salad once and meal prep for a week of easy healthy lunches!
I love a good easy, make ahead, meal prep recipe! This Meal Prep Keto Chinese Chicken Salad packs a lot of flavors without a lot of carbs. There are tons of fresh vegetables like red cabbage, carrots, green onions, and fresh greens.
For the greens you can use any kind, but I made my salad with spinach or watercress. I love pretty much all lettuce, but I find watercress is especially delicious. I love how flavorful each bite of this salad is too – the dressing takes about 5 minutes, but completely makes this salad!

- Cooked chicken – you can use rotisserie chicken, or chicken breasts for this recipe.
- Peanut Oil – I find that peanut oil gives this dish the best flavor! It’s a light oil with just a hint of nuttiness.
- Rice vinegar: I love this sweet & tangy rice vinegar, I always keep this seasoned vinegar stocked in my pantry for dressings and salads.
- Tamari: tamari is a gluten-free version of soy sauce. Tamari has a bright salty flavor, and adds a really nice depth of umami to this dish.
- Light Sesame Oil: The sesame oil gives the perfect sweet flavor to the sauce of this dish. Light sesame oil is traditional in a lot of Asian dishes, and will give your salad the perfect flavor.
- Low Carb Sweetener of Choice – I used monk fruit which has no carbs or calories.
