Enjoy this fresh and colourful Chicken Strawberry Avocado Salad - a perfect meal for a hot summer's day.
Love Avocado? Love Strawberries? Then this delicious and healthy salad is just for you. It combines the freshest of ingredients, nothing complicated and will become a regular recipe once you try it.
In the summer I love salads, but they have to have the right components of ingredients, too much green and it can become a little boring, instead I like to combine protein, greens, a little fruit for something, salad veg with crunch and occasionally I will go all out and add some creamy fresh avocado, but it's seriously the best addition to any salad.
Do you avoid avocado, because you assume it is extremely high in calories? You need to check out the post I did on Avocado and Slimming Eats which has 14 amazing ways to enjoy this delicious and beautiful ingredient. It's actually pretty reasonable and I will happily use some to enjoy it in this Chicken Strawberry Avocado Salad.
Whats not to like about tender herby seasoned pieces of chicken, with lettuce, onion, crunchy baby cucumber, fresh strawberries and creamy avocado? and it's so quick to make too.
But you may be thinking, hey I can't eat this Chicken Strawberry Avocado Salad without some dressing and don't worry I have that covered too, with a delicious light Poppyseed Dressing that accompanies this salad beautifully.
