RECIPE 1 –

Creamy Chicken Cranberry Nut Salad.

Indulge in this luxurious creamy chicken cranberry nut salad – a personal favorite that’s both filling and perfect for various occasions. Plus, it’s keto-friendly, making it an ideal treat for your keto guests this festive season.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Cook two chicken breasts in extra virgin olive oil or butter until golden. Set aside to rest and later chop for the salad.
2. In a large bowl, mix around 4 chopped celery sticks, diced white onion (or spring onions for extra flavor), and a generous amount of cranberries for that sweet and festive touch.
3. Add chopped walnuts, pecans, and flaked almonds to the bowl, followed by the chopped chicken.
4. Now, let’s make the sauce. Combine creme fraiche, lemon juice, and finely chopped dill in a bowl. Feel free to add mustard for extra flavor, but skip it if there are any allergies.
5. Pour the sauce over the salad and mix well. For an extra creamy touch, top with crumbled goat cheese. Serve it on its own or on a bed of arugula salad.

Enjoy this delightful dish as a starter or side. It’s a versatile addition to your festive buffet table!
