A Keto Grilled Chicken Salad is perfect for those work lunches, on the go meals, or meal prep ideas for the entire week. This salad is one of my go-to recipes when I’m either uninspired, over beef, or simply just craving some zesty chicken and some crispy bacon.
This salad is a mix between a cobb salad, and a chicken and bacon pasta (just without the creamy sauce). Its one of those recipes that will keep you satisfied for a long time (since the high fat and moderate protein will curb those carb cravings 😉 ), but you’ll also find that you’ll end up making this recipe more and more.
Its one of those classic recipes that you’ll make once, and forever commit it to your brain, messing around with the ratios until you find your perfect match (or suitable for which ingredients you are left with at the end of the week).
