With the beginning of summer, hot meals become less desired and fresh salads are craved. This is why I thought of sharing with you one of my absolutely favorite summer dishes: Chicken Avocado Salad.
Rich in taste as well as in vitamins and proteins, this salad is all you need for the summer to keep you healthy and hydrated.
Ingredients
For the salad
- 3 cupslettuce
- 1avocado (Big)
- 250 gchicken breast
- q.s.oil
- 1 pinchsalt
- 1 pinchblack pepper
- 1 pinchgarlic powder
- 2 spoonsparmesan cheese (grated)
For the dressing
- 3 spoonsmayonnaise
- 1lemon (Juice)
- 1 pinchsalt
Preparation of the Chicken Avocado Salad
Chicken Avocado Salad
First of all, brush the botton of a small pan with oil, lightly heat it and add the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Leave on low heat until the chicken breasts become white inside and out.
Cooking the chicken on low heat may take more time, but avoids it from drying out.
Once the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, cut them into thin strips and leave them aside to cool.
In a big bowl, place the lettuce leaves. Then, cut the avocado into cubes and layer them on the bed of lettuce. Add the chicken strips and finally, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top of them.
Lemon Mayo Dressing
As a last step, pour the mayonnaise, the lemon juice and a pich of salt in a small jar. Close the lid and shake well to mix the ingredients together. Serve it with the salad.
Advice
– To add a crunchier note to this salad, I advise you to add some croutons or crackers.
– If you love strong tastes, you may add half teaspoon of mustard to the dressing.
– Don’t throw the avocado seed. Plant it!!! Here’s how…
I hope you enjoyed the Chicken Avocado Salad recipe.

This looks so delicious. The fun fact is that I never tried avocado. I know that I’m late to the party but avocado isn’t really accessible in my country, Once I try it I’m definitely going to remember to make this salad.

This looks so yummy – we have some chicken strips and avocado already so you’ve just given me the inspiration for our lunch – great timing, thank you so much! x
I’m glad I provided you with a lunch idea. Bon appetit then 🙂
This is a great post, I love the look of this salad. I also think that salads can sometimes be a bit dull, so this recipe adds some flavour and texture to the ordinary salad
I totally agree with you. Thank you for your comment 🙂
This salad looks really good. I love anything with avocado on it and it’s such a simple meal to make.
I’m an avo fan too. Thank you for your comment 🙂
Nice, summery recipe – I’m a big avocado fan! But I never thought of planting the avocado seed. I definitely want to try that now! =)
I’m always planting trees and vegetables with seeds or remainings. Thank you for your comment 🙂
Mm, this looks filling and divine! I love avocado, chicken, and Parmesan together for a tasteful meal. On lettuce with a creamy dressing, I could eat this every day for a very, very long time.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you like it. Thank you for your lovely comment 🙂
That dressing sounds amazing! Homemade dressing is the best! Thank you for sharing.
It is delicious. I believe dressings are as much important as the slad itself. Thank you for your comment 🙂
