    The chicken is clearly the star of this Keto Balsamic Chicken Salad, but it is surrounded by delicious vegetables and keto fan favorites, feta and avocado. 

    Sometimes we struggle with eating enough vegetables and if you're in the same boat we hope this has given you a least a little inspiration on how to incorporate more leafy greens into your diet.

      This salad is delicious! I used goat cheese instead since I didn’t have feta. I had it over a couple of days (keeping dressing on the side) and it kept getting better and better!

      I amped this up by adding a can of artichokes and a pile of grape tomatoes! Awesome salad now in regular rotation. The chicken is delicious by itself too.
