Chopped Chicken Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

A refreshing low-fat chopped chicken, tomato, and onion salad topped with a healthy creamy avocado dressing. Alright so let’s jump right into this delicious salad. The star of this salad is definitely the creamy avocado sauce. It’s my go to salad dressing and it also seems to be a crowd favorite as well. I love it because it’s ready in just minutes. You simply toss a few simple ingredients into your blender and it’s like magic. 

A creamy, tangy, rich and delicious sauce that is unbelievably good on anything. I obviously use it on salads but don’t let that stop you. I’ve had this sauce in sandwiches, burgers, rice, and even pasta!To begin making this salad, pan sear the chicken until tender and golden. While the chicken is cooking, chop up all the ingredients for the salad and blend the ingredients for the dressing in a blender. Then when the chicken is done, chop it and toss it on the salad. Top with dressing and boom! A healthy, fresh, and incredibly flavorful salad is ready in under 20 minutes!
