Ingredients

1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 large avocado, diced
1 medium cucumber, diced
¼ cup mayonnaise preferably avocado oil-based
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, and diced cucumber.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red onion, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, and garlic powder to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken, avocado, and cucumber mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled. This salad can be served on its own, over a bed of greens, or wrapped in a low-carb tortilla for a delicious keto-friendly wrap.

Notes

To ensure this recipe stays keto-friendly, be sure to use a mayonnaise made with a high-quality oil like avocado oil.

You can cook the chicken breasts ahead of time using your preferred method or use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.

For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts.

If you're preparing this salad in advance, add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning.
