- ⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup sugar-free Keto honey
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions
To Make the Keto Honey Mustard Dressing
- Add all of the dressing ingredients in the bowl of a mini chopper or mmersion blender and blend until well combined and emulsified. Set aside while you prepare the chicken.
To Make the Keto Crispy Fried Chicken
- Add the almond flour, pork rinds, parmesan cheese, dried parsley, smoked paprika and garlic salt to the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely ground.
- Pour the breading mixture in a shallow bowl. Beat the egg in a second shallow bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then into the breading, shaking off any excess.
- Heat a large skillet to medium, add in the oil and fry the chicken breasts for several minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the salad ingredients.
To Assemble the Salad
- Chop and wash the romaine lettuce, then dry it well. I like to use a salad spinner to help.
- Add the lettuce in a large bowl or in 6 individual bowls. Cut up your chicken into slices, then place them over the lettuce.
- Place groupings of the tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and avocado around the bowl. Spoon the feta cheese over the top and add in the parsley.
- When you are ready to serve, pour the dressing over the top.
