Keto Blackberry Feta & Warm Chicken Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Make the dressing first. Use a fork to mash 5-6 blackberries per serving into a mushy pulp, until the liquid separates. Press the blackberries through a sieve to collect the juice and discard the seeds and pulp. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped basil into the blackberry juice. At your discretion, you may also add a pinch of stevia to your dressing, but you may find you don’t need it. Set the dressing aside and re-whisk when needed.
Step 2
Combine the ground chicken and olive oil in a small pan. Break the ground chicken into chunky pieces – not too small. Season with the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Cook over medium heat until the chicken fries to golden brown edges. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Prepare the salad by arranging your lettuce on a plate. Top with crumbled feta, chopped pecans, extra blackberries, and the warm chicken. It is you choice to pour the dressing directly onto the salad, served on the side, or toss with the lettuce before plating.
