Chicken Avocado And Feta Salad Recipes

AVOCADO FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Place avocado cubes in a bowl.
• Whisk olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; mix in feta cheese. Pour dressing over avocado cubes; toss to coat.

CHICKEN, AVOCADO AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• To save time and effort, I usually get a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and chop breasts; add other pieces of chicken if necessary to get to two cups.
• Chop the avocados into medium-sized pieces, mix with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice to prevent browning, and season avocado with garlic salt to taste. Put in large bowl with chicken.
• Top with onion, feta cheese, pine nuts and cilantro. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to break up or mash the avocado.
• Whisk mayo, dijon and the remaining tablespoon of the lemon juice to make the dressing. Add a bit of water if too thick. Season the dressing with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle over salad and again toss gently to dress.
• Serve right away or chill for a while before serving. This can be served inside pita bread or sandwich bread, or over a bed of greens/spinach, but we also like to eat it as is.

GREEK ISLAND SALAD WITH CHICKEN & AVOCADO

Steps:

• Pull the meat from the chicken and shred it roughly. Trim the base from each lettuce, wash and dry the leaves, then roughly shred them. Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Finely slice the spring onions (using both white and green parts). Cut the avocados in half lengthways, remove the stones and peel. Cut crosswise into slices, and squeeze with lemon juice. Crumble the feta cheese with your fingers and toss it with the dried oregano and mint. Pick the leaves off the parsley and set aside.
• Whisk the 3 tbsp of lemon juice with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and spring onion, then fold through three quarters of the dressing with the avocados (carefully, so the avocados don't break up). Season with salt and pepper, then scatter over the feta, olives and parsley, and drizzle with the rest of the dressing. Squeeze extra lemon juice on top, and serve with pitta bread if you wish.
