Greek Avocado Chicken Salad

We eat salads a lot, we do various combinations every day but, of course, we change sometimes with naturally pickled vegetables. Often times, salad can be a meal of its own, if we use filling and healthy ingredients. 

Give this combination a try, we really liked it because it's hearty and very tasty. It's also suitable to pack some for lunch at work (pack the dressing separately and pour it over the salad right before eating).

I recommend fixing the dressing in a small jar - it will be easier to blend and can be kept in the fridge for next times.
