TIPS FOR CHICKEN AND AVOCADO SALAD

  • For added flavour, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and lemon for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Mix olive oil with a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise for a creamier dressing.
  • Dice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Swap: Replace the chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein source.
  • Add Grains: Include quinoa or brown rice to make the salad heartier.
  • Extra Veggies: Add sliced red onions, bell peppers, or shredded carrots for extra crunch and colour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover salad without the avocado in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add avocado fresh before serving.
  • Freezing: Not suitable for freezing as the avocado will turn mushy.
