Keto Avocado Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups

124 ratings

Chicken salad is an essential American classic. We can kick out the mayo, mustard, or whatever other sugary mixers you stir into yours. This time, our super-friend, Avocado, brings this delicious recipe together. Despite using only butter lettuce leaves as the chicken salad delivery vessel, this makes a fantastically filling lunch. You won’t be craving your next meal anytime soon.

Had this for dinner tonight. Was ok as made, a little bland. Added some ground chipotle powder & a little more lime. Texture was a little off for me, so I used Zero Mission tortillas with a little Queso cheese warmed in the microwave. Turned a good filling with the greens & a few added pepitos.

Very delicious 😋. I just cut it all up and popped it in a bowl and drizzled the dressing over the top. Will certainly eat on a regular basis

Well, you like Avocados for on. Not such a fan but know they are good way to obtain good fats. So I added some mayo and walnuts and celery and a little Splenda to make it my own. Not to bad

  No, 1 serving is 3 lettuce cups. The recipe is 2 servings, 3 lettuce cups per serving (about 1/3 cup in each lettuce cup).

Surprisingly yummy! I didn’t have high hopes because avocado is not one of my favorites but it was super delicious!

Hubby and I really enjoyed these! So filling too. Topped with Ring of Fire Habanero hot sauce and it paired great with them. Definitely will be a staple meal especially during the hot summers.

Looks like lunch today! As an aside, mustard isn’t sugary at least not the yellow, spicy brown or the dijon I keep on hand.

Quick and easy to prepare. I buy a rotisserie chicken and have the dark meat for 1-2 meals and then use up the chicken breast to make this salad. Tastes great too

Good but way too salty! Cut the salt in half or even less.

A little too salty for me. Next time I'd decrease the salt in half but overall it was delicious.

Really delicious, and so simple! The butter lettuce I bought was chopped up, but I just stir in a bunch and treat the whole thing as a salad side dish. Perfect for summer.

Oh my goodness this is out of this world! I added some red pepper flakes for spice and it was amazing! Next time I might do a little less salt, but other than that it feels like you’re eating fancy Mexican food!
