¼ teaspoon onion powder 0.5 grams

8 cups mixed salad greens 200 grams

¼ cup olive oil 60 ml

Instructions

Start by preparing the ground chicken. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Season the chicken with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado lime dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Assemble the salad by placing the mixed greens in a large serving bowl. Top with cooked ground chicken, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, black olives, diced avocado, and green onions.
Drizzle the avocado lime dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and enjoy your Keto Ground Chicken Taco Salad with Avocado Lime Dressing!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.

If meal prepping, store the dressing separately and add just before serving to keep the salad fresh.

Adjust the seasoning of the chicken and dressing according to your taste preferences.
