Notes

  • Storage: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. However, keep in mind that the avocado may brown slightly.
  • Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze this salad, as the texture of the avocado and chicken will change once thawed.
  • Pairing: This salad pairs wonderfully with whole grain crackers or a light, fluffy bread. It also works great over a bed of leafy greens.
  • Meal Prep: Consider preparing the chicken ahead of time. You can grill or bake it, then store it in the fridge for easy assembly during busy days.
  • Variations: Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or even different vegetables like bell peppers for added crunch and flavor.
