Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Avocado Chicken Salad Delight.
Step 1
Start by gathering your fresh ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the crisp green leafy lettuce, tender slices of cooked chicken breast, and the vibrant black olives. Add in the thinly sliced green and red bell peppers, along with the diced red onion for a pop of flavor and color. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
While the salad is chilling, let's whip up a zesty dressing. In a container with a lid, mix together some olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Secure the lid and give it a good shake until everything is well combined. Pop this dressing in the fridge to chill for another 30 minutes, enhancing its flavors.
Step 3
Once your salad has chilled and the dressing is ready, it's time to bring it all together. Gently fold in the creamy avocado, which adds a delightful richness to the salad. Shake the dressing one last time and drizzle it over the salad. Toss everything lightly to ensure each bite is coated in that delicious dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy a burst of fresh flavors in every bite!
