2 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Cook the chicken breast if not already cooked. You can grill, poach, or roast it. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro or parsley.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and ground cumin.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro or parsley.
If using, add the crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve:
Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
Tips:
To keep the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice before adding it to the salad.
For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
You can substitute the feta cheese with another type of cheese or omit it if preferred.
This salad is versatile and can be customized with additional ingredients like bell peppers, olives, or even beans for extra protein.
