Since my new passion is avocados stuffed with chicken salad I am experimenting with chicken salad recipes. This one came out really special with a sweet Caribbean flare. The perfect sweet touch and completely keto friendly! It comes together very quickly, you can serve it immediately too, but I highly recommend refrigerating it for an …
