Low Carb Chicken and Bell Pepper Rice Salad
This quick and easy Keto salad makes a great lunch or low carb dinner option. Our simple Keto salad is prepared with a base of cauliflower rice, seasoned with a little lemon zest and garlic, diced red and yellow bell peppers, scallions, creamy avocado and cooked chicken. The salad is drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil then topped with fresh cilantro to serve. Perfect for fuss-free eating!
Are Bell Peppers Keto?
Bell peppers can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced Keto diet. Green bell peppers are the lowest carb pepper option, with red and yellow peppers being slightly higher in net carbs. If you would like to reduce the carb count of the dish, you can use a smaller quantity of bell pepper or substitute the yellow bell pepper for green.
Can I Use a Different Protein?
We have used cooked chicken breast for our Keto salad recipe. You can use any cut of cooked chicken you prefer including leftovers from a whole bird or store-bought rotisserie chicken. You could also use an alternative protein if desired, such as pulled pork or cooked and flaked salmon. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
