This chopped Buffalo chicken blue cheese salad bowl is one of my favorite low-carb salads! I love the crunch of all of the fresh veggies (those carrots!) plus the tangy buffalo chicken and creamy avocado.

Really, with bacon, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce how could you go wrong? This keto salad is great for meal prep as it also holds up really well (minus the avocado) in the refrigerator for a pre-made lunch option. Just be sure to cut the avocado fresh to prevent it from turning brown.

This recipe makes three regular servings or two large servings. A large serving (half of this recipe) is ideal for those who practice intermittent fasting and need a nutritious meal to break their fasting window.

How many carbs are in chili sauce?

Watch out for added sugars in condiments such as chili/hot sauce. Most of these products are not correctly labeled. For example, Frank's RedHot Sauce lists values "per tablespoon" which are rounded down to zero, resulting in seemingly zero-carb values per any amounts. That's also one of the reasons branded products are not reliable when it comes to food tracking.

While added sugar is not always an issue (contrary to common beliefs), eating too many hidden carbs could be what's stalling your progress.

If you want to be absolutely sure and have a complete control over your carb intake, you can always make your own condiments, including Sriracha Chili Sauce and Ranch Dressing. They are easy to make and taste amazing — much better than most store-bought products!
