Chicken Nicoise Salad image

This salad makes it easy to eat what's good for you. It's versatile, so you can use asparagus in place of green beans and salmon instead of tuna, or add garden tomatoes. And if you follow the keto diet, you'll be happy to know this is a keto chicken salad. -Nick Monfre, Oak Ridge, New Jersey
