This Chicken Avocado Almond Salad made every week day for many years, in a cafe I ran many many years ago.
It was the Chicken No 3 on the menu board and was VERY popular!
The only changes I have made is ensure that I use a sugar free mayo, or make my own for the dressing.
Included in our up coming meal plans in 365, this a recipe that takes no time to make at all. I am definitely one for not having to spend too much time on anything we make in the kitchen. I think we can all appreciate spending less time at food prep that is for sure. If you are a fan of my Baja Chicken then this will probably be a new favourite for you.
This cold weather we are having at the moment makes me feel less like eating salads than at any other time of the year. Preparing a salad with some fresh baked protein helps to get the greens in and strike a bit of a balance. I have been making so many soups lately that this meal is a nice break and has actually inspired me to get back into some more salads.
I hope you love this recipe. Trust me back in the day, it was a massive seller!
Enjoy
