Easy is good right? This easy chicken avocado salad is just that. If you want to you can add cooked quinoa or rice to it as well. Personally I find it perfect just the way it is :)
Serves: 2-3
INGREDIENTS:
2 large chicken breasts,* shredded or chopped
2 medium avocados
1 cup corn
6 oz Bacon, cooked and chopped
¼ cup Chives or green onion, chopped
2 Tbsp chopped Dill
2 hard boiled eggs, cut in quarters, (optional)
Lemon Dressing:
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp lemon zest
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
⅛ tsp black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Dice or shred the 2 large cooked chicken breasts and place into a large mixing bowl. Peel and pit 2 avocados, slice into bite-sized pieces and add to the mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup of cooked corn (freshly cooked corn is best), toss in ¼ cup chopped green onion, chopped bacon, and 2 Tbsp fresh Dill.
Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine. Drizzle over your salad and toss to combine. Serve with slices of hard boiled egg if desired.
Notes: *You can use rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breast.
