Scale
Vegetables
- 3 mini cucumbers, sliced into coins
- 5 to 8 mini sweet peppers, sliced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
Protein
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
Dressing and Cheese
- 1/4 cup ginger dressing
- 1/2 cup crumbly feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Combine the sliced cucumbers, mini sweet peppers, and diced avocado in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss them together to mix the fresh ingredients evenly without bruising the avocado.
- Add the protein and dressing: Incorporate the shredded or chopped cooked chicken into the bowl, then pour in the ginger dressing. Toss everything together carefully to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients well for balanced flavor.
- Finish with feta and serve: Add most of the crumbly feta cheese into the salad, reserving a few tablespoons for garnish. Toss gently to combine, then sprinkle the remaining feta on top before serving immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken of your choice – grilled or roasted chicken works well.
- For more tang, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
- Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
- This salad is gluten-free and can be made low carb by using low-sugar dressing.
