Chopped Chicken Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

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!
