Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is a favorite low carb lunch in our house, because it's so simple to make ahead and then grab when you're hungry. We mixed in cheddar, bacon, and green onions and then combined it with a simple ranch dressing.

Notes
The mayonnaise adds a bit of extra creaminess and richness to the dressing, but you can swap for more ranch if you dislike mayonnaise.
We think this is perfectly seasoned as is, but taste and add additional salt if you think it's needed.
