Ya know what I love about chicken salad?? There are SO many mouth-watering variations of it! 😋 Different sauces, veggies, fruits, nuts, spices…the combinations are literally endless!

When my hubby & I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for a few months, we found this little place called “Chicken Salad Chick”.  They had a menu full of tons of different chicken salads, and lemme tell ya: I was OBSESSED — & I started craving chicken salad all the time! 😍

After we moved & no longer lived right down the street from a chicken salad palace, I decided it was about time I created my OWN chicken salad recipe — filled with all healthy ingredients of course (because let’s face it, most chicken salad from restaurants or stores are made with non-organic/conventional chicken & unhealthy fats — not a recipe for health!).

This Keto Avocado Chicken Salad recipe is made with some of my all-time FAVORITE chicken salad ingredients! ☺

It’s low carb, loaded with healthy fats & high-quality protein, & filled with plenty of fiber & nutrients. The texture is such a perfect balance of creamy & chunky, and it’s bursting with flavor! 👌

Keto Avocado Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 package (~1-1.5 pounds) organic, free-range chicken breasts (or the cut of your choice)
• ¼ cup Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo (or you could use Grapeseed Oil Vegenaise)
• ¼ cup organic full-fat Greek yogurt or Amasai (or you could use ½ cup of this if you don’t have access to the avocado oil mayo or vegenaise above)
• 2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
• ½ red onion, diced
• 3-5 large stalks of celery, diced
• 1 Granny Smith apple, chopped into small pieces
• 1 ripe avocado, cut into small pieces
• ½ cup raw cashews
• 2 cloves fresh crushed garlic or minced garlic
• 1 tsp. curry powder
• Sea salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook the chicken via the method of your choice (I typically cook it on the stove with some coconut oil).
2. Once the chicken is fully cooked, cut, chop, & pull apart the chicken into small pieces, and put it all into a large bowl.
3. Add all the other ingredients into the bowl, and mix everything together thoroughly with a large spoon until completely combined.
4. Ideally, refrigerate the chicken salad for a few hours for best flavors.  (However, I sometimes can’t wait that long, & I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with eating it right away if you want to! 🙃)
5. Serve on a bed of fresh greens, with some healthy crackers (like these flax crackers), or just by itself (it’s THAT good!).  ENJOY!! 🤗
