Ingredients: Avocado Dressing:; 1/2 large or 1 small ripe avocado; 1 garlic clove , minced; 2 tbsp diced red onion; 1/4 cup cilantro , stems and leaves, not packed in; 1/2 tbsp olive oil (optional); 1 tbsp plain low fat yoghurt (I use Greek); 3 tbsp lime juice; 3 - 5 tbsp low fat milk; 1/4 tsp onion or garlic powder; 1/2 tsp salt; Black pepper; Chicken:; 5 - 7 oz / 250 - 300g chicken breast , skinless boneless (I had 1 large one); 1 tbsp olive oil; Spice Rub:; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1/4 tsp each onion powder , garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt; 2 tbsp plain flour; Black pepper; Salad:; 1/2 cup diced red onion; 1 corn , steamed, kernels cut off (or 3/4 cup cooked kernels); 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes , halved or quartered; 5 cups chopped lettuce

1. I like to puree it a lot so the cilantro/coriander becomes pureed into the dressing because it adds to the green colour of the dressing. But you could puree it less so you have more specks of green in the dressing. It doesn't affect the flavour, it's just aesthetics!

This makes more dressing than you will need. It's hard to make less. The leftovers are fantastic to use as a sauce for other proteins, use as a dip or to spread on toast! It thickens when you refrigerate it.

2.Nutrition per serving. Approximately 150 calories of this is attributable to the avocado dressing - and it assumes you use all of it, which you probably will not. So the chicken and salad is around 350 calories. Avocados are fairly high in calories BUT it isgood fat.Remember that!!! 🙂
