What to serve with chicken salad?

We like to serve our keto chicken salad with celery and cucumbers. It would also be good served on a low carb bun or any of these low carb vegetables. 

Can you freeze chicken salad?

We prefer not to freeze this chicken salad recipe because it is made with mayonnaise. Sometimes the mayo can separate and make the chicken salad less than desirable.
