Low Carb Chicken and Crunchy Veg Salad
This Keto salad recipe is packed with fats, flavor, and protein from crisp fresh vegetables, chicken, and a creamy salad dressing. Our low carb salad is prepared with cooked chicken pieces, tender baby gem lettuce, juicy red bell pepper, scallions, crunchy radishes, cooling cucumber, and a tangy dressing of avocado, coconut milk yogurt, coriander, and lemon. This recipe is ideal served as a low carb lunch or light Keto dinner option.
How Do I Make the Dressing?
We have dressed our Keto chicken salad with a rich and creamy low carb avocado dressing. The dressing is prepared quickly and easily by blending avocado, coconut milk yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, coriander, and a touch of seasoning. This simple yet flavorsome dressing is a great way to add extra fats and flavor to your Keto meals. You will find the recipe for the dressing in our sides section.
What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?
We have used cooked chicken pieces for our low carb salad recipe. You can use shop-bought plain cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. You can also use leftover meat from a whole roasted bird. Using cuts of darker chicken such as the thigh and leg meat will provide more fats and flavor, but equally, you can use white breast meat if preferred.
