Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen.

Chicken Fajita Salad

I had a hankering for a hearty salad. Chicken Fajita Salad to the rescue! It also works great with shrimp, steak or ground beef/turkey.

I love this salad! It’s 100% keto friendly and so light and delicious. Fish is my favorite main course to serve with this side. That is when I’m not eating it as a light, filling snack.

It comes togetherContinue reading “Hawaiian Mac Salad”

Roughly 6 sandwiches, so if you’re not serving a crowd I’d cut the recipe in half. 3 large Chicken Breasts 1 cup Celery; chopped 1 cup Onion; chopped 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder ½ teaspoon Mustard PowderContinue reading “Cherry Chicken Salad”
