OMG, I could eat this stuff by the ton! The perfect dish to keep in the fridge for light lunches or a healthy protein packed snack. Definitely need to try!
Hi Karly, thanks so much! These words are a great compliment coming from one of my favorite food bloggers. I LOVE your recipes:-)
How many servings does this make?
Love the recipe, but disappointed that when I go to print it has ads and takes 3 pages!
Hi Debby, I’ll try to fix that.
Debby, copy and paste receipe to word, then print.
It was amazing, thanks for one of my new favorite recipes!
Thanks Elizabeth 🙂
What would be a good vegetarian substitute for the chicken? I was thinking garbanzo beans, but not sure if it will fill me up.
Wow! This was delicious! I wasn’t sure how the avocado would pair with the rest of the ingredients, but it was soooo good! I didn’t have feta, so I couldn’t add any, but I’m gonna go get some tonight so I can have it with tomorrow. The dressing is so flavorful and having the chicken marinate in it was super yummy!
I doubled pretty much everything cuz I was trying to make 5 servings, and the dressing only makes 10 Tbsp. Cutting the chicken into strips cut down A LOT on cooking time in the George Foreman. I’ll be doing that from now on for all my recipes!
How do you keep the avocado from turning brown?
So delicious!! Made it for my lunches this week!
Great recipe! My BF said he could eat this everyday and he’s very picky.
Thanks Ally! Glad to hear that !

That’s an amazing article. It is the perfect way to present salad with food. Will definitely try it next time. To cut vegetables like this we should have a perfect set of knives.
