Keto Strawberry Chicken Poppyseed Salad

Recipe Description

Enter the Keto Strawberry Chicken Poppyseed Salad with fresh greens, red onions, and microgreens! It is so filling and healthy. This salad recipe takes inspiration from Panera’s strawberry poppyseed salad with chicken. It, too, combines chicken, fresh berries, lettuce leaves, and poppyseed dressing, but it’s keto and has no mayo. However, this lightened-up version is just as delicious. What a better way to satisfy our summer cravings!

The base of this salad is the easiest thing to make. First, you just add all ingredients to a bowl and toss. Then make the dressing. The dressing is what completes this salad. It is sweet and tangy and speckled with poppy seeds. Finally, pour the dressing over the top of the strawberry and chicken salad and combine thoroughly. Garnish with microgreens and serve right away! Bonus: any leftover dressing will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days.

To make the Keto Strawberry Chicken Poppyseed Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

¡Ay, esta ensalada es lo max! La hice para una reunión con amigos y todos se volvieron locos. Es super fresca y me encanta que no tiene mayo. Recuerdo cuando mi abuela hacía ensaladas en verano, pero esta es aún mejor. ¡Alguna vez probar ella la receta! 😍👌
