- 3 cups chicken chopped
- 12 oz package of bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 avocados diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 3 scallions sliced thinly
- 2 celery stalks diced
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Combine the chicken, bacon, avocados, scallions, and celery in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, salt, and pepper and pour over the vegetables. Toss to coat all of the vegetables in the dressing.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
Serve immediately.
Notes:
You can easily make this recipe Keto by using a Keto-friendly Caesar dressing, or one with a yogurt base and no added sugars.
Save the hassle of having to cook the chicken and use any leftover chicken you already have or buy a rotisserie style chicken and chop that.
If making this salad ahead of time, wait to add the avocado until just before serving to prevent it from turning brown.
