This Chicken Salad with Avocado Dressing is a healthy and flavorful dish. The creamy avocado dressing pairs perfectly with the tender, spiced chicken and fresh vegetables. With a hint of lime and cilantro, this salad is the perfect balance of creamy, zesty, and satisfying.

Notes

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!!! 🙂
