Notes

Recipe Variations:

Keto Chicken Avocado Salad

It’s very simple to make this chicken avocado salad a keto-friendly salad. What is a keto diet? A ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in carbs. If you want to make this easy chicken avocado salad recipe fit in with a keto diet, just omit the corn. You will end up with a salad that has about 6 grams of carbs per serving.

Grilled Chicken Avocado Salad

In the mood for a taste of grilled chicken flavor? Grill up a chicken breast or two, depending upon the size. Chop the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.

Chicken Avocado Spinach Salad

We have been buying a lot of fresh baby spinach lately. We mix it in with soups and cook it with our scrambled eggs. It makes an excellent topping for this main dish salad. Just grab a few baby spinach leaves and tear them up on top of your serving of salad to add even more nutrition.

Chicken Avocado Fritos Salad

My husband is fond of putting corn chips (such as Fritos) on his salad. It’s a very delicious addition, but it does take away from the healthy aspect a bit. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to take a healthy salad and turn it into something else entirely? I seem to do that quite often.
