Chicken Salad with Avocado and Bacon

Chicken Salad with Avocado and Bacon is packed with protein and flavor. Keto-friendly and makes a filling lunch.

This healthy, low carb chicken salad is so easy to make and a very small portion will fill you up since it is loaded with protein. I like to serve it on a bed of butter lettuce. The avocados provide so much creaminess that you hardly need any mayo, in fact, you could leave it out all together. Avocados are one of my favorite foods  and they are so healthy. They provide a large dose of good fats and are low in saturated fats.

A little lime juice perks up the flavor and adds some acidity. I also like to add celery and diced red onion for a little crunch.

Tips for making Chicken Salad with Avocado and Bacon:

• To make this recipe Whole30, leave out the mayonnaise and use Whole30 compliant bacon.
• Greek yogurt can be substituted for the mayonnaise.
• The chicken can be cooked however you like: grilled, roasted, poached or you can use rotisserie chicken.

You will love the saltiness and creaminess of this chicken salad!
