This South Beach Diet Salad Recipe for a Chicken Salad with Avocado is one of the easiest to make, and one that you won’t get tired of after eating it multiple times! Since I’m leaving for vacation in a few days, I’m extra motivated to lose weight, and chicken is my go to protein.  I’m also trying to stay healthy and South Beach Diet is the best around.  In fact, I wrote a whole blog about this way of eating…check it out!

So, let’s get started with what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 (1-pound) head romaine lettuce, chopped (8 cups)
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced
• 1 pound cooked chicken breasts, shredded
• avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
• Freshly ground black pepper

and then the actual steps:

Directions:

1. Whisk together oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and a pinch or two of pepper in a small mixing bowl.
2. Combine lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber in a large mixing bowl. Toss with half of the dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper; divide among 4 plates.
3. Toss chicken with 1 Tbsp. of the remaining dressing and divide among salads. Top with avocado slices, drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve.
