Crisp cabbage, creamy avocado and zesty dressing make this toss extra tasty
When you want a salad that’s hearty, healthy and packed with flavor, give this chicken avocado salad recipe a try. It’s filled with yummy ingredients that really satisfy — grilled chicken that’s been rubbed with spices, creamy avocado, crunchy cabbage and cucumber ribbons for extra flair. We top it with tomatoes and toss it with a zesty lemon dressing. Enjoy it with a slice of whole-grain bread and you’ve got yourself the perfect — and perfectly delicious! — lunch. It’s a meal you can really feel good about eating, since it’s loaded with protein from the chicken plus healthy fats from the avocado. Those ingredients give it staying power, too, to fuel you through the afternoon.
Instead of chopping the cucumber, we use a vegetable peeler to create elegant ribbons. They instantly elevate the dish, and they’re so simple to make! Watch our video to see how easy it is to toss this sensational salad together.
