To the chicken mixture, add 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled, 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped, 1 cup crushed pork rinds, and 2 oz pork belly, rendered crispy and diced. These provide essential texture and flavor.

Store leftover Carnivore Chicken Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
