High Protein Chicken Salad
The secret to making a high protein salad is by adding protein into your dressing! This high protein chicken salad is made with a peanut butter dressing, using peanut butter powder instead of regular peanut butter! By using peanut butter powder, we can get more protein in with less calories!
