    1 vote

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups of diced up cooked Chicken (using leftovers is a great idea)
    • 1 small (1/4 cup) Onion, finely diced sweet or red
    • 4 strips of Bacon, cooked and crumbled
    • 1 Avocado, half diced, half sliced
    • 2 Tablespoons Mayo (Dukes has no sugar for low carbers but is not Paleo)
    • 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
    • 1 /2 teaspoon Onion Powder, Salt, Pepper & Lemon Juice
    • Romain Lettuce, ripped into bite sized pieces

    Directions

    The hardest thing about the Paleo Diet (in my books) is the elimination of dairy. I really missed the creamy texture if cheese. That is until I discovered my love of Avocados! They have all the rich fatty creaminess I missed. I started adding avocado to every salad I ate. It's like pure creamy heaven. What I love to do is use Avocado anywhere I would like to use creamy cheese, my first stop was Mayo. While I do make my own Paleo Mayo, its time consuming and I won't use it once its stored due to it having raw eggs. I don't need a fancy recipe to use Avocados either. I will dice it and add it to just about anything. Dishes like Taco's and Chili now must have small diced avocado on top instead of the traditional cheese.
