Instructions
Creating a vibrant and nutritious Keto Avocado Chicken Salad is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: If not using leftover chicken, cook chicken breasts by boiling or pan-frying until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Allow them to cool and shred or dice.
2. Chop Vegetables: Dice the avocado, chop the celery, and finely chop the red onion.
3. Mix Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise) with fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced chicken, avocado, celery, and onions.
5. Add Dressing: Pour the yogurt or mayonnaise dressing over the chicken and vegetables. Use a spatula to gently mix everything without mashing the avocado.
6. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure that all components are seasoned.
7. Garnish: Add fresh cilantro or parsley on top for a bright finishing touch.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a bowl or individual servings, and enjoy immediately.
By following these steps, you will create a delicious, nutritious meal that not only tastes good but also aligns perfectly with your dietary plans.
