Here is a delicious and refreshing dish! This chicken, bacon, and avocado salad is a great way to get in lots of fat but also keep the carbs low. Don’t worry about being hungry afterward, trust me – you will only need one serving to feel satisfied!
For this recipe, I used a spring mix lettuce, but you can use any variation of lettuce that you’d like. You can also different spices with the dressing, but I found that it tasted quite lovely with just the simple ingredients listed below. Plus, this version keeps the carbs down. I also used a sweetener to boost the flavor of the dressing. I used erythritol, but you can use whatever sweetener you’d like or even leave it out if you feel so inclined.
