Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken

  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

  • 1 large avocado, chopped

  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 4 green onions)

  • 3/4 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)

  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (or any low-carb dressing you like)

  • Salt & ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, avocado, cheddar, scallions, and celery.

  • Add Caesar dressing and gently toss until everything is coated well.

  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Chill for 1 hour if you prefer it cold—or serve right away for a quick, satisfying meal.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days (just keep the avocado uncut if prepping ahead).

Notes

  1. Chicken: Use leftover rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or cook fresh (¾ lb raw). Drain excess juices to avoid a watery salad.
  2. Bacon: Cook until crispy (microwave, oven, or stovetop), then crumble. Or use ½ cup bacon bits.
  3. Scallions: About 4 green onions (both green & white parts).
  4. Celery: About 2 stalks.
  5. Dressing: Caesar is low-carb (0.5g net carbs per 2 tbsp), but ranch or buffalo dressing also work.
  6. Seasoning: Start with ¼ tsp each of salt & pepper, adjust to taste.
  7. Serving: Best when chilled—refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Pair with parmesan crisps or keto-friendly sides.
  8. Storage: Keeps for up to 2 days, but avocado may brown. For meal prep, add avocado just before eating.
  9. Scaling Up: Double or triple ingredients for more servings—use a large mixing bowl!
