Main Dish Salad Recipe With Chicken, Avocado And Baby Spinach
This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
I love to eat main dish salads for lunch. They are so healthy and tasty, and they make you full. This main dish salad has sliced chicken, avocado, tomatoes and baby spinach, with the dressing of freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil.
For this yummy salad you can use leftover chicken, or buy those convenience packaged cooked chicken strips. Of course, you can also cook the chicken breast from scratch just for the salad – the best option for that are individual frozen chicken breasts.

Note how this salad uses half of an avocado. Are you wondering what to do with the other half so it doesn’t turn brown? Don’t worry – you can store is safely – see how to store half of an avocado.
